Help Get Sharkell to Outward Bound!

Donation protected
Sharkell has been our son since June 30th, 2014. In under three years time, he's set and achieved so many personal goals that are academic, physical fitness/athletic, self discipline and personal development related. We are so very proud of his achievements!

Sharkell had his first Outward Bound experience in the summer of 2016, which he has described to many as both "the most challenging" and "the best thing" he's ever done in his life. Outward Bound provided the perfect venue of physical and mental challenge in which Sharkell sharpened personal skills including teamwork, effective positive communication, trust building, physical ability, and so many more.

Sharkell has been invited to participate in another Outward Bound experience for 14 days, beginning on his 17th birthday, 12/27/2016. With some help from you, he can travel to the Boundary Waters region of Minnesota for dog sledding, cross country skiing and cold weather camping. Currently in his junior year of high school, Sharkell is a high achieving student and a dedicated athlete. In preparation for life beyond high school, this experience will aid in shaping Sharkell into the well rounded person he strives to be.

While Sharkell received a partial scholarship and we are able to contribute some funds, we are still coming up short for the cost of the course tuition. Additionally, we have expenses of gear and travel from Boston to Minnesota and back.  Folks who know our family know what an exceptional and deserving young man Sharkell is, and any contribution no matter how small will be of great help and so very much appreciated! Thank you in advance for supporting this amazing opportunity for him.
