Help Kevin Get To US Indoor Nationals
My name is Kevin A. Mays II, a
recent Central Michigan University Graduate student-athlete, following graduation I decided to dedicate myself to the sport of track and field, specifically the 35-lb
weight and the hammer throw and my goal is to continue to compete at a high level. I've always dreamed of being a professional athlete and this may be my breakthrough opportunity.
The 2013 USA Indoor Track and
Field National Championships will be held March 1st through March 3rd,
in Albuquerque, New Mexico. Without the support of endorsements, scholarships, grants, I will
have to fund this out-of-pocket which would be literally impossible for me to
do at this time. So my plea to you is a sponsorship that will assist me with
the opportunity to compete in this event.
Sincerely,
Kevin A. Mays II
