Superbowl trip,Diehard Panther fan
Donation protected
***Update: I'm falling in love with the idea of paying everyone back with these fun reward ideas for the next year. That will be an amazing expierience in itself! Hopefully I keep coming up with new ones!***
I'm from Connecticut but I've been only a Carolina Panthers fan my entire life. My energy for my team has become so contagious to people around me, that people have cheered for them just because they are happy for me. So now a few of my close friends suggested I try this out so that I could afford going to see them play in Superbowl 50. I don't have so much money all at once, so i've made fun rewards to pretty much pay it all back with fun jobs and events over the coming year!!
I've been a Panthers fan since their inaugural season in 1995. I was 6 yrs old and made the decision to cheer for an own team of my choice rather than join anyone elses fanbase. On Christmas of '95 i received my first NFL jersey. Kerry Collins #12.
Being from New England I've always gotten picked on or given a hard time for choosing a non-local and small fan based team, but my honor and faith to the Carolina Panthers never waivered. I purchase at least one new hat and one new jersey every year. I have more t-shirts than I can count. Half of my wardrobe is Carolina Panthers gear (or colors. i.e. shoes, dress shirts, accessories, etc.) My room consists of two black walls, two turquoise walls, and a silver carpet. I've painted 8 ft murals of the logo on walls in my house.
My family even made a bobblehead of me for this christmas.
When i got my first nephew, I finally converted someone into being a Panthers fan and sharing the expierience with me.
I'm finally at the age where I can handle freely traveling around the country to follow the Carolina Panthers to their games. I was there week 1 this year at Jacksonville, and I went to 5 more Panthers games throughout this season including both playoff games this year with the help of generous friends and family along the way. I've felt like a good luck charm. I was even interviewed on the NBC Charlotte news after the NFC Championship win.

So now EVERYONE is flooding me messages, "How are you getting to the Superbowl?"
WELL IF YOU WANT TO HELP, THIS IS HOW. The Superbowl is ridiculously expensive. I can't afford it all in one shot. Ticket prices are insane. What I'm asking for is only to help me fly and get into the game. Any donations do NOT get taken UNLESS the full goal is met. I'm even doing this with the hopes that i get a cheaper plane ticket with the help of my Aunt. I can handle hotel, food, and ground tranportation on my own.
The cheapest game ticket with service fee (today) is $4,800 and the cheapest flight ticket today (they'll keep going up) is $500. The goal is set at 14 days, but I would really need it in 10.
I am one of the hugest fans there are. Friends of mine know that if you were to help me, I would forever be grateful and I would owe every single one of you a favor. Hey, any big donations and I'll paint any mural you want on your wall. I don't expect this to actually work, but I can't say I didn't try.
God bless, Keep Pounding, and let's go Panthers!
