RE: Help Chicago youth compete on the national stage

Dear Supporters,

I’m reaching out on behalf of Nxt Level Athletics GCE 13U Team, a Chicago-based youth football program serving inner-city student-athletes—over 90% from single-parent households. Our boys are 9-0 and have earned invitations to two national events this season:

National Championship – Las Vegas, NV: November 25–29, 2025

UYFL National Championship – Florida: December 7–12, 2025

To seize these life-changing opportunities, we need help covering essential travel costs. Our fundraising goal is $45,000, which will be used for:

Round-trip flights

Housing

Tournament fees

Team meals/food

We have 35 players and 7 coaches traveling.

Every contribution, large or small, directly reduces the cost burden on our families and keeps our team focused on school, character, and competition. Your support will help our kids see the country, compete at the highest level, and represent Chicago with pride.

If your company has its own giving guidelines, we’re happy to tailor benefits to match them. We will provide an acknowledgment letter/receipt for your records.

Thank you for considering this investment in our youth. With your help, our players will compete on a national stage—and bring those lessons of discipline, teamwork, and resilience back to their schools and neighborhoods.

Our deadline is November 15, 2025.

With gratitude,

Dwayne Tyson - Director 

Michael Willis- President 

Head Coach, Nxt Level Athletics 13U
