My name is Uriel Zuniga, class of 2026, and I am currently a point guard for the Kotzebue Huskies. Reflecting on my journey, I never imagined I would be where I am today. From the many young athletes who now look up to me, to the people that I've met along the way, and the challenges that God has placed in my path - each moment has helped shape the person and player I've become.

Recently, I was honored to be recognized by Division I coaches and invited to attend the top-ranked college basketball camp in California. Although I entered the camp uncertain of how I would perform, I gave it my all. A few days after the camp, I received an email informing me that I had been identified as one of the top players in attendance. As a result, I've been invited to join the All-American International Team, with opportunities to compete in either Spain or Italy.

The camp experience was truly incredible. I gained valuable insight from other small guards who have made it to the professional level - learning not only new skills, but also what it takes to succeed at the next level. I am extremely grateful for this opportunity to represent Alaska and to show that athletes from our state are just as capable and competitive as anyone else.

I am writing to respectfully request your support in helping me attend the EXACT All-American International Team program. The opportunity represents a significant step forward in my athletic and personal development.

The early bird tuition for the program is $3,299, while the standard tuition is $5,000. Any assistance or sponsorship toward this goal would be sincerely appreciated.

Thank you for considering my request. Please let me know if you need any additional information.

Sincerely,

Uriel Zuniga
