Eagle Scout Project for JJ Harstine

I am reaching out to you because I need your help.

For those of you who may not know, I have been a member of the Boy Scouts since the 7th grade. After all my years in scouting, my final ambition is to obtain the rank of Eagle Scout, which is the highest rank for scouts and only achieved by 5% of all members. I want to earn this status for several reasons: 1) it will challenge me and bring together all the skills I have learned in my years of scouting, and 2) it has been known to provide an advantage in college admissions, as well as favor with future employers.

My final requirement to accomplish this rank is to do an Eagle Scout Project. The project must benefit an organization but cannot be performed for an individual or a commercial business, so I have chosen my church as my benefactor. I am building them a new coffee center and will be installing cabinets, a countertop, sink, and a new island. The coffee center will provide a gathering place for folks to connect, while also allowing storage for supplies.

An Eagle Project requires me to plan all tasks, recruit volunteers, fundraise to acquire materials, and act as the foreman of the project. I have estimated that the cost of my project will be $10,000, and I am asking for your support in making my project a reality. Any amount is greatly appreciated and will help towards ultimately earning my Eagle Scout rank.

My deadline for completion is November 12th, so I would truly be grateful if you would please send your donations by that date.

Thank you again for considering donating to my project. Donation info is below.

Donations needed by: November 12th

JJ Harstine
