Send a Mustache to Brooklyn!

THE PITCH:

Hi!

I've been encouraged by many of my friends to start this campaign to sponsor me to attend the 2015 National Beard and Mustache Championship held in Brooklyn, New York in a few weeks (Saturday November 7th, 2015)

Regretfully, I cannot fund my own airfare/hotel and transportation to compete this year and am asking for your sponsorship assistance.

I'm trying to can get at least 150 friends and fans to donate at least $20 each so I can represent YOU and at the National Championships.

THE OUTLINE:

I have been professionally bearding for three and a half years and have won two U.S. Gold medals (back to back) and one Bronze medal. Additionally I've held a Second Place world title for my Musketeer Style Mustache.

Bearding has become an unexpected hobby and I do enjoy it so.

I have made a world full of new friends,  relations and experiences and I'm asking for at least $20 to help send me to the National Championships.

This year I will live-stream my experiences via Periscope (get the app from the app store) so you can tune in through out the weekend of events and experince the championships with me live.

MORE:

In 2012 when I won my first National title the Musketeer catagory was a rather forgotton and less than competitive category. Since then the competition has gotten tougher and tougher as some of the best beards and mustaches in the world now want to compete in my catagory and take a title.

I take claim for injecting the category with new blood and excitement because, as a result of my continued success, many other beadsmen have been inspired as I was and must have thought, "I can beat THAT guy" or "I want HIS title" and have entered and expanded the competitive base in the Musketeer catagory.

I've assumed the role of "America's Musketeer" and I welcome all competitors to the catagory and happily applaud their achievements and wins.

Finally the Musketeer is being admired for the attitude and rakish, debonair style the look represents!

Join me in the quest for the gold and become of America's Musketeer's.

Just $20 is all I ask, but donate now because time is short and we have to secure my entry/flight and hotel right away.

BONUS:

I'm shooting for $3,000 because between the GoFundMe site and the banking company that handles the transactions 9.5% of the total donations go to them as service fees.

The bonus is, any funds received above and beyond the goal will be used soley for my attendance to the Austin Beard & Mustache Competitoin in February 2016.

THE DETAILS:

I'm asking for your gift of at least $20 for me to attend the 2015 National Beard and Mustache Competition in Brooklyn, New York.

All funds received will be strictly accounted for and any of you may view the accounting expenditures at any time.

Download the Periscope App form the App Store and sign up for a free account. You will receive a text message to notify you at the start of each live-stream. I'll attempt to post a broadcast schedule in advance.
