I am a 10th grade student at Lemon Bay High School and have been nominated to represent my school and community at the NYLF Advanced Medicine & Health Care summer program at Georgetown University in Washington, DC. By attending this program, I will join other motivated students from around the country for an experiential program designed for future medical leaders. I have included a link that has a sample of our itinerary for your review.
As you can see, this will be a powerful experience, enabling me to interact with respected professionals in various fields while building relationships with students who will be my future colleagues. Attending this program will allow me to further my interest in the medical field and reach my career goals of becoming a cardiologist or potentially a cardiovascular surgeon. What I am intrigued by the most is the opportunity for real clinical training and meeting medical leaders to answer questions I may have. I maintain a 4.2 GPA, am involved in Beta Club, student government, cross country, track & field, and culinary club.
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. My participation in the program depends on whether I can raise $5,699 in sponsorships. I am investing every dollar I can of my own money to make sure I don’t miss out on this unique experience, and I am also taking on extra jobs to raise the funds I need. In addition, through my family, friends, and neighbors, I have already raised $1680.
That leaves me with a balance of $4019. My initial deposit must be paid no later than March 4, 2026.
Your support for my sponsorship request would be greatly appreciated. I have included a link with background materials on the program to answer your questions and help you make your decision.
Sincerely,
Trace Beno
