Help Connar Attend National STEM Forum

Hello, I am the mother of Connar. He is in the 4th grade. Recently, he has been nominated to represent his community at the National Youth Leadership Forum: Pathways to STEM, an Envision by WorldStrides program to be held at Rice University in Houston, TX. By attending NYLF, he will join other motivated students from around the country for an experiential NYLF Pathways to STEM program. As you can see, this will be a powerful experience, enabling him to interact with respected professionals in various fields while building relationships with students who will be his future colleagues. Attending this program will allow Connar to further his interest in engineering and reach his career goals of becoming a chemical engineer. Connar maintains a 4.0 GPA and is involved in extracurriculars. Here is a list of his activities: being in the Gifted and Talented program, Discoveries, Cub Scouts, basketball, soccer, baseball, his school boy club GENTS, and choir. Imagine if you had been given this opportunity for a life-changing experience when you were in school and were unable to participate for lack of funds—that is why I am writing to you today. Connar's participation in the program depends on whether I can raise $4000 in sponsorships. I am investing every dollar I can of my own money to make sure he doesn't miss out on this unique experience. Your support for his sponsorship request would be greatly appreciated. Sincerely, A supportive mom
