Hi, my name is Shade Gladden and I’m an undergraduate student at The University of Texas at Tyler. This will be my third year in a row going to Beach Reach and I couldn’t be more excited, but I need some help to get there! 

Beach Reach is a mission trip that hundreds of college students go to every year. This trip involves going down to South Padre Island, TX during Spring Break to offer free vans rides and ultimately the good news of Jesus Christ to other college students who go down to the island to party during their break. The cost of the trip is $550, but I will be raising some additional money over that amount to help cover donation fees as well as food while I am traveling. Any amount you can give is appreciated, but even if you cannot give I ask for your prayers. Thanks!
