Dear Friends and Family,

I am a 4th grader at PD Graham and have been nominated to represent my school and community at NYLF: Pathways to STEM in Bowling Green, Ohio. By attending NYLF: Pathways to STEM, I will join other motivated students from around the country for an experiential program.

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 Science and Mathematics and reach my career goals.

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 $2500 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 $120.

I am hoping that you will consider assisting me with all or some of these costs. My tuition must be paid no later than February 19th, 2025.

Your support for my sponsorship request would be greatly appreciated. You may contact the NYLF: Pathways to STEM at https://www.envisionexperience.com for any further information.

Sincerely, Mason Mango
