Hi my name is Alex Bevilacqua, I am a student at Pinkerton Academy and i recently participated in a program called DECA. (Distributive Education Clubs of America.) Deca is a club that prepares emerging leaders and entrepreneurs for careers in business. I am honored to announce that i am qualified to participate in the national competition in Anaheim, California in the event of Business law and ethics. The trip total will cost $2,000 and because I am a full time student, I cannot do it alone. This event supports my interests in furthering my academic career and job opportunities in the competitive world of business and marketing. Participating in this event will give me an edge in an undoubtedly competitive work environment . As the cost may be

daunting, with enough support to this gracious opportunity provided, my goal and plan is to make up for all spent with a return on investment of being successful in this competition. I am grateful for any contribution made towards offsetting the expenses of my participating in this tremendous event.
