Hello everyone,

My name is Samuel, if you're reading this then I have spoken to you about it or it has been shared by others.

I've been offered an amazing opportunity to go over to the United States to train, play and learn basketball.

I will be traveling with my representative basketball team for Pakenham. As a part of the trip we will be participating in educational experiences, which includes going to a local high school in Phoenix and Arizona State University. These experiences will allow us to see how their basketball team programs work, understand academic expectations, and learn how the college program operates.

One of the conditions set by our parents was that we had to take ownership and raise the money ourselves. Even though this is out of my comfort zone, I see the fundraising journey to be an important opportunity to grow in my independence and confidence.

Any contribution, no matter the amount, would make a huge difference and is greatly appreciated. We’re also able to provide a tax invoice for those with an ABN who wish to claim a tax deduction.

Time is a huge factor as we will be traveling over Easter, and need to raise the fund by the end of February.

Thank you so much for taking the time to watch the video and for any support you're able to give.

This really means a lot,

Kind regards,

Samuel Martin
