Hi, my name is Melyna, and I am a baton twirler from Florida. I’m starting a Go-Fund-Me to help fundraise for a trip to Liverpool, England this summer, where I have the opportunity of representing Team USA at the International Baton Twirling Federation competition. I am the 2021 National Junior 3 baton champion, as well as the 2022 Southeast Region Junior 3 baton champion. This past summer, I competed at the USTA National's IBTF qualifier in California, and I am honored to announce that I made the top 3 spot out of 50+ competitors. Earning this top 3 spot allowed me to be a part of Team USA, representing America in 2-baton.

In preparation for this event, I have been practicing about 4 hours a day. I have a huge sense of dedication to this sport, and I strive to perform well at the world level too.

The trip to England will be very costly, including plane tickets, hotels, food, and any clothing or equipment needed to represent the USA appropriately in England. It would be greatly appreciated to receive a donation to help fund this trip.

Thank you once again!
