2K16 Trout Unlimited Teen Summit
Donation protected
For those of you who know me, you should know how much I love fly fishing! I joined the Hacklebarney TU chapter of Trout Unlimited (conservation group) in January 2016, and I was recently elected to be a board member of my local chapter! I also started my own business selling handmade flies! And I'm only 16!
What you may not yet know about me is that I applied for a spot in Trout Unlimited's Teen Summit National Leadership Conference in Montana this June and was one of only 15 selected out of all of the applicants nationwide to attend the conference (http://www.tu.org/teensummit)! It is a 5-day conference where I will meet other teens (8th - 12th grade) who share not only my love of fly fishing but also my love for conserving the very streams and rivers that we love to fish! While there I will take conservation and hatchery tours of the area; attend leadership skills workshops to bring new TU activities into my community; participate in conservation science and fly tying and fly fishing workshops; meet and hear fly fishing and conservation biology guest speakers; perform a service project at a local stream and have lots of time for hanging out by the campfire, tying flies, and fishing! I am very honored and excited to be able to attend this conference!
I know that my mom and dad would pay for me to go, but I want to do this on my own. It's going to cost about $1,200 to cover my airfare and attend the conference. I'm hoping to cover at least some of the costs through this fundraising. Any funds that I raise in excess of my costs to attend the conference will be donated to Trout Unlimited!
Please help me get to Montana to experience this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity! Thank you very much!!
