​Dear Family and Friends,

I am very excited to announce that I will be participating in the Mid-Hudson Valley Chapter of Jack and Jill of America's Inaugural Illuminating Excellence Presentation Gala!

The Illuminating Excellence Gala is a biennial event that raises funds for the community and provides leadership development programming for local students. As a Teen Participant, I will participate in various workshops and activities designed to build character, self-esteem, and leadership skills. It is an exciting opportunity to bond with other young people and build lasting friendships. The program culminates with the Presentation Gala on Saturday, April 5, 2025 in Poughkeepsie, New York.

I am a high school junior with a 3.74 GPA at John Jay High School in Hopewell Junction, New York. I am Vice President of Black Student Union and member of John Jay Track & Field, Proscenium (Theatre), and Interact (Volunteer club). In my senior year, I plan on joining my school National Honors Society. When I graduate in 2026, I hope to be attending Florida A&M University majoring in Business Administration and Chemistry. I am preparing for my future by attending my Presentation Gala workshops and contributing to my community.

I am soliciting your support with a ticket or journal ad purchase, or a financial donation. My goal is to raise at least $1000. No donation is too small; every dollar will help me reach my goal.

Thank you in advance for supporting me.
