Help Southern Coast Academy Students Thrive

Help Southern Coast Academy Students Achieve Their Dreams

Dear Friends, Family, and Community,

My name is Travis Nichols, and I am the founder of Southern California Academy, now proudly rebranded as Southern Coast Academy, powered by our nonprofit, Empty The Bench. At Empty The Bench, our mission is to empower athletes for mental health and holistic success, ensuring they shine both on and off the court.

At Southern Coast Academy in Orlando, FL, we believe in the boundless potential of every student. Yet, many of our students face financial barriers that hinder their ability to thrive academically and personally.

Our Goal: $100,000

We are reaching out to you to help us raise $100,000 to provide crucial support for our students, including:

- ✅ Room & board: A safe, stable environment for growth

- ✅ Nutritious meals: Essential fuel for learning and athletic excellence

- ✅ Uniforms: A symbol of pride and belonging

- ✅ Inspiring field trips: Opportunities to broaden their horizons

Why Your Support Matters

Every student at Southern Coast Academy has a dream—a vision of a future they are diligently working to build. However, without the necessary resources, their journey becomes significantly more challenging. Your donation will remove these obstacles, allowing them to focus on what truly matters: learning, growing, and achieving their full potential.

Your Impact

Your generosity is more than just a donation; it’s a lifeline. It’s the difference between struggle and success, between uncertainty and opportunity. Every dollar you give creates real change:

- ❤️ A safe home for a student who needs stability

- ❤️ A meal for a student who might otherwise go hungry

- ❤️ A chance to experience the world beyond their neighborhood

Be Part of Their Journey

This is not just about charity—it’s about empowering the next generation of leaders, athletes, and changemakers. Your tax-deductible donation will leave a lasting legacy in the lives of these incredible students.

Join us today. Give what you can. Spread the word. Together, we can make dreams come true—one student at a time.

With heartfelt gratitude,

Travis Nichols
