Dear Potential Sponsor/Donor:

My name is Jonas Hansen, and I’m a 19-year-old student and actor from Spokane Valley, Washington. I’m reaching out because I’ve been selected to compete at IMTA New York 2026, a national talent convention where young performers are seen by top agents, managers, and casting directors. This opportunity has the potential to alter the course of my life significantly.

I’m currently a freshman at Eastern Washington University, majoring in Political Science and minoring in Spanish. I earned the Washington State Seal of Biliteracy, and I’ve always believed in the power of communication, whether through language or performance, to bring people together. PAST IMTA STARS!!!

Acting has shaped who I am. I’ve performed in productions including Newsies, Footloose, Anything Goes, Mary Poppins, The Diary of Anne Frank, Much Ado About Nothing, Blithe Spirit, The Complete Works of William Shakespeare (Abridged), and The Ghost Train. Each role has taught me discipline, empathy, and the courage to step into someone else’s story.

To attend IMTA, I need to raise $6,600 to cover the performer package, flight, meals, headshots, and professional attire. A large or a small contribution represents the chance to stand on a national stage, prepared and confident.

Any sponsorship of $100 or more is tax-deductible and includes printed name recognition in the official IMTA supporter list distributed at the convention.

Thank you for considering supporting a Spokane student with big goals and a lot of heart.

Please like and share this campaign with everyone you know to help us reach our goal!
