Ok, I want to Officially introduce to my extended Network something that is very dear to heart with me. I want you to share in this Opportunity to help change the lives of over 100 middle and high school youth here in Jacksonville. As you kick off the new year take a moment and consider where you invest your money, time, and knowledge in the community. And carefully consider the impact of your ROI.

I work daily as a social entrepreneur to create change in my local community. A few friends of mine recently helped me develop a few campaign initiatives to raise funds for a novice debaters to travel from Jacksonville to Atlanta to Emory University to witness a national debate tournament at the end of January.

Our goal is to sale 500 T-shirts by March 1st, 2011 for two chaperons, 8 youth, lodging, meals and travel fees over a three day weekend. Please purchase a T-shirt and we will add your name to our Signature Sponsors list on the back of shirts in appreciation.

Thank you to everyone who supported our Cause to increase academic achievement for students in underserved communities.
