<div>Dear Family and Friends,
</div>
<div>I have been selected as a National Youth Correspondent to attend the Washington Journalism and Media Conference this summer. This amazing opportunity will be held at George Mason University, located just outside of Washington, D.C. I was selected because of my excellent academic record and sincere interest in journalism and the media. I am extremely excited about this student leadership experience and traveling to Washington, D.C. However, the cost of the conference is more than my parents and I can contribute, so I am asking for your help. The Washington Journalism and Media Conference is a once in a lifetime opportunity. As a National Youth Correspondent, I will be recognized as one of the most promising young leaders in journalism and will join others from across the country to share in this unique experience. I will attend educational seminars, attend speeches by industry leaders and be challenged to work with my peers through simulations and group discussions. In addition to this amazing experience, I will also earn one college credit for my work. I will develop my leadership skills and gain a greater insight into the issues surrounding careers in journalism and the media. You can find more detailed information about the selection process and conference at <a href="https://wjmc.gmu.edu." target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"><a href="https://wjmc.gmu.edu." target="_blank" class="" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">https://wjmc.gmu.edu.</a></a> My cost to attend the conference will be $2600.00, not including my travel expenses. My parents’ contribution plus funds I have already raised $1000.00, but I still need to raise $2,300.00. including travel and incidentals. I would greatly appreciate any amount that you might be able to give me. Thank you in advance for any support you can provide.
