<div>Hello!

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>My name is Owen Stockey and I am in 8th grade at South Park Middle School. Since the 4th grade, I have been playing percussion and for the last year, I have been playing with the <strong>Pittsburgh Youth Philharmonic Orchestra (PYPO)</strong>. I love how PYPO challenges and pushes me musically.

</div>

<div>Next July, my youth orchestra is going on a ten-day concert tour to Italy. It’s a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to experience a whole new culture, perform three concerts for international audiences, and learn about music history in cities like Venice, Cremona, Florence, and Bologna. I’m especially excited for the food!

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div><strong>I’m hoping to raise $5000 to help cover my airfare, lodging, and transportation while in Italy.</strong> Any amount you are able to contribute is appreciated. I look forward to sharing pictures and stories from our concert tour with you all next summer!

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>Sincerely,

</div>

<div>Owen
