Hunter's trip to Washington, D.C.

Our son, Hunter Hudson, has been nominated to attend the National Youth Leadership Forum: National Security Diplomacy, Intelligence & Defense being held in Washington, D.C. this summer in Honor of his Academic Achievement and Leadership Ability. The cost of tuition for this 10 day trip is $3445.32. This cost covers housing, onsite meals, instruction, supervisory personnel, program materials, all forum activities, and private motor coach transportation during the forum. Travel (round trip airplane ticket) to and from Washington, D.C., shuttle service to and from the airport and the forum location, offsite meals, and incidentals he wishes to purchase are not included in the tuition cost. The deadline for enrollment is March 10, 2017. The sooner Hunter can complete his enrollment (with payment) for the forum, the greater chance he has of securing his attendance due to strictly limited space and applications are accepted in order of receipt. Upon completion of the forum, Hunter will receive a Certificate of Achievemnet as part of his academic record. In the nomination letter received with this invitation, it states "You have distinguished yourself as a standout among your peers at Andalusia High School and, indeed, throughout Alabama". Stephen and I, as well as other members of Hunter's family, are very proud of all he has accomplished thus far, and are overly ecstatic he has received this nomination. Any help with the cost is greatly appreciated.  We would like to thank everyone who has taken the time to read this, and to anyone who is able to contribute. Thank You.
Sincerely, Kristina and Stephen Hudson, the very proud parents of Hunter Hudson.
