I am excited to share with you an incredible opportunity that has come my way. I have been selected to represent Team USA at the upcoming International Surf Rescue Challenge in New Zealand this November. This prestigious event brings together the best lifesaving athletes from around the globe to compete at the highest level.

As a proud member of the Jones Beach Lifeguard Association (JBLA) I have been involved in learning lifesaving skills since the age of 10 starting as a Junior guard and progressing through the junior lifeguard program, and now as a lifeguard. Through years of dedication and hard work, I have honed my skills and I am now honored to have the chance to represent my country on the international stage.

Participating in this championship is a dream come true for me, but it comes with financial challenges. The costs associated with travel, accommodation, training, and competition fees are significant. That is why I am reaching out to you for support. Unfortunately the money I have saved working this summer is not enough to cover the costs of this trip.

Your donation no matter how big or small will not only help me fulfill this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity but will also showcase your commitment to supporting young athletes in our community.

I am grateful for any assistance you can provide. Your belief in me and your contribution to this journey mean the world to me.

Thank you for considering this request and for being a part of my journey to represent Team USA with pride and dedication!

Warm regards,

Colin Stueber

Team USA Lifesaving Athlete
