Hello!

This is my 3rd year in TeenSHARP, a program that will help me get ready to attend one of the top colleges in our country on the best financial aid terms possible. I’m particularly excited to participate in TeenSHARP to help me stay sharp academically and connected with a community of peers who are also striving for excellence. I look forward to growing as a leader and a student so that I can achieve my dream of becoming a student at Yale.

I am writing to request your support for my participation in the TeenSHARP this year. At TeenSHARP, I attend virtual college readiness workshops and group advising sessions throughout the school year. I work with TeenSHARP’s college advising experts to explore and apply to various enrichment opportunities that will position me better for college. I also implement initiatives to better my community and empower my peers. During the school year, I will also get the chance to participate in virtual college tours, where I will have an opportunity to interact with students, faculty, and admissions representatives.

I need to raise $750 to help cover a portion of the cost of my participation in the program this year. Therefore, I am asking you and other sponsors to invest in my success. Any donation would be extremely appreciated. I need to raise the money by August 1st.

You can donate at my GoFundMe page, via TeenSHARP’s Harambee donate page, or by mailing a check to TEENSHARP 4023 Kennett Pike #50690 Wilmington, DE 19807 (please just note on the envelope that it is for my fundraiser).

I would be glad to answer any questions that you have about my participation in the TeenSHARP program to help you make your decision. You may also contact the TeenSHARP team at [email redacted], or visit www.teensharp.org for further information.

Thank you very much.

Sincerely,

Valeria Llerena
