Jr National Young Leaders Conference
Wednesday, July 9th, 2008My mom said I should put this on the blog, because I might be able to get more support. This letter (adam-creek_jrnylc-fundraising-letter_6-3-08.doc) has gone out to many friends, family and neighbors…
I am Adam Creek. My 6th grade teacher, Mrs. Koehler, nominated me for Jr National Young Leader Conference this fall in Washington DC. I was honored by the fact that she thought enough of me and my leadership potential to take the time to fill out the nomination form.
I have been pretty active in the community since we moved here. I have participated on the Mediation Team at school. This spring, my sister and I raised $45 for the food shelf and organized a dodge-ball tournament for elementary youth. I am a founding member of the NYM Youth Council.
I am happy to accept the nomination, and now the challenge is to cover the costs to attend what I believe will be a life changing conference in a historic setting. Registration is $1840. My mom and dad are very supportive and will provide transportation and half of the registration fee $920. They feel and I agree that I need to take an active role in getting there.
That is why I am coming to you. I have been raising money since June. So far I have earned or collected a total $315 towards my half of the registration fee. If you were given this type of opportunity when you were younger wouldn’t you hate to miss out on it for lack of money!
If you would like to help me get to my goal of $920 by August 1, please consider making a donation to support my continued development as a young leader in NYM. Your support will assist me in developing my leadership potential that will last me a lifetime benefiting me, my family and our community!
