My name is Ben Humphries. I am currently a freshman at Woodford County High School. I have been nominated to perform with the Kentucky Ambassadors of Music in their concert tour of Europe during the summer of 2018. The nomination criteria include personal character, leadership potential, and musical ability. I have had an incredible musical year, with many significant accomplishments, and now have the opportunity to share my love of music with people across the world. However, the costs of the tour are considerable. Air/land transportation, lodging, meals, sightseeing, and life-changing cultural experiences total $7000. The tour is 16 days, and covers 7 countries: England, France, Switzerland, Liechtenstein, Austria, Italy, and Germany. I am most appreciative of any support you may provide. Thank you!
