What is the best wording for a sentence with two present participles?

The sentence I'm correcting reads: Thank you for considering supporting our gala...

What is the best way to re-phrase this? "Thank you for considering to support..."?


The sentence is about right. They are not yet committed to supporting the gala but you would like them to. This is reason to thank them for considering.

For rephrasing it may be enough to say; Thank you for your support of our gala. By assuming their support you may get them to provide it. If you leave in considering they will be reminded of reasons they have not to support it.
