Dear Friends!

I hope this message finds you well. My name is Reese Eden and I am a student at Brigham Young University majoring in Marketing. I have been accepted to participate in the 2026 BYU Global Marketing Study Abroad program—an incredible academic opportunity that will allow me to gain real-world experience in international business and cultural communication across ten countries.

Through this program, I will study and work with global companies in:

• England (London)

• Norway (Bergen, Oslo)

• France (Paris)

• Italy (Rome, Cinque Terre)

• United Arab Emirates (Dubai, Abu Dhabi)

• Thailand (Bangkok, Phuket)

• Japan (Tokyo, Kyoto)

• Australia (Sydney)

• New Zealand (Auckland, Rotorua)

This experience will provide invaluable insight into global marketing strategies and international collaboration—skills that are essential in today’s connected economy. It will also strengthen my ability to represent BYU and the values of integrity, hard work, and global citizenship in diverse settings.

To make this opportunity possible, I am working to raise $17,200 to cover travel, lodging, tuition, and program costs. I am reaching out to invite you to partner with me in making this educational journey a reality. Any contribution, no matter the amount, will directly support my participation and is deeply appreciated.

If you would like to contribute, donations can be made here, through Venmo (@Reese-Eden) or by contacting me directly. I would also be happy to share updates and reflections from my travels as a way to express my gratitude and show the impact of your support.

Thank you for considering being part of this life-changing experience. Your generosity will not only help me grow academically and professionally, but will also allow me to carry BYU’s spirit of learning and service across the globe.

With gratitude,

Reese McKinley Eden
