I can't believe I'm finishing my first year of college in just a couple months! As you may recall, I'm not only playing a varsity sport, but I'm actively involved with Athletes In Action at Brown University, a campus ministry that helps athletes grow in their relationship with God.To seriously accelerate my faith, I'm joining other athletes from Brown for the Ultimate Training Camp (UTC) in Twin Cities, MN from June 1-7. I'm so pumped for this because of what the upperclassmen have told me about it, as well as after watching this sweet video trailer of what we'll be doing.I'm writing to you because I'd like to you to consider financially investing in this opportunity for me to grow in my relationship with God and became all that He's made me to be, both on and off the field. The cost is $650, which includes lodging, food, and materials, but does not include travel expenses.Please read the endorsement letter I've attached from my campus director. He shares a bit more about the Ultimate Training Camp and why it's so significant for student-athletes. If you are able to give, then you give quickly and safely online here--just make sure to put my name in the optional message box and then contact me directly so that I can make sure your gift goes through.Thank you so much, in advance, for your prayerful consideration to partner with me in this endeavor!Audience of One,NAME"
