Mason's Blue-Grey All-American Bowl

Hello, my name is Mason Ellis. I am currently a senior at Minarets High School located in O'Neals, California. I have been playing football for Minarets since my freshman year and have worked very hard to get to where I am at. Thanks to all of my hard work and all of the support I have recieved from friends, family and coaches, I have been selected through a very rigorous process to be a participant in the Blue-Grey All-American Bowl in Jacksonville, Florida. This a huge accomplishment for me and for my school, since the town I am from only yields a population of a few thousand and my school has about 600 students.

To get to this point I had to go through two combines prior to the selection of the All-American Bowl roster. First, I competed at the Regional Combine in San Mateo California where I performed well enough to advance to one of five National Super Combines, which was also located in San Mateo.

The costs for the Bowl come to a total of $2,500. That price includes a hotel, equipment, tickets, and the Stadium sharing costs. This does not include airfare or meal costs. This is very important to me because I have worked very hard to move to the collegiate level of football and this is a huge opportunity to really get my name out so that I have a better chance of getting recruited. Not only would that allow me to play football in college, but it would also mean I would get my education for a reduced price or possibly for free. Anything you could do to help would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you.
