Good afternoon to whom it concerns,

My name is Laykin McSwain, and my purpose for reaching out is to ask for support funding for my graduation. I am graduating from Central Georgia Technical College on May 8th. I will be obtaining my associates degree for IT Professionalism. In turn, there is also a graduation party being planned for May 9th to celebrate this milestone. Although I am aware I am not requesting this as a non-profit, the funds would be used for the entertainment of my guests that are coming to support. Purchases such as gift/goodie bags with small "Thank You" gifts inside, cutlery and dining utensils, refreshments, and food provisions are what these funds would be used for. I do have a fund reception platform to use for this matter--Venmo, Cash App, and Zelle.

Any help would be greatly appreciated to help make these objectives complete and the enjoyment of my guests definite.

Thank you for reading, and I look forward to hearing from someone!

    Requests for direct financial support or funding assistance are outside the scope of the available guidance.

    However, there are Microsoft resources that can help with planning and organizing a graduation celebration using free or low-cost tools:

    • Use Microsoft 365 templates to plan the event, manage budgets, guest lists, and timelines. The "Plan an event" guidance includes checklists, planners, guest lists, invitations, flyers, menus, and budget templates that can help organize costs and track what is needed for the party.
    • Manage guest mailing addresses and contact details in Excel saved to OneDrive so others can collaborate on planning and contributions.
    • Use Word mail merge with an Excel list to send digital invitations or thank-you notes efficiently.
    • Explore the virtual graduation resources to gather ideas for celebrating in ways that may reduce venue or entertainment costs.

    These tools can help structure the event, understand funding needs, and communicate clearly with friends, family, or community members who may wish to support the celebration.
