Support Calista's BPA Nationals Journey

Dear family and friends - Our daughter, Calista has been recognized for her high-ranking performance and has been formally invited to the 2025 BPA (Business Professionals of America) National Leadership Conference (NLC) in Orlando, Florida (May 7-11, 2025) as a top ten (10) finalist in V10 - Virtual Branding Team - ML.

"This year BPA experienced record registration numbers in all fifteen (15) National Events and to be considered as a top individual/team competitor means that a tremendous amount of hard work and dedication was completed over multiple months of competition." - Patrick Schultz, BPA Director of Membership and Technology

As part of her business journey to "give purpose to potential", we've set-up this fundraiser. She will drive and will be responsible for this and all proceeds will be used to defray the costs of the conference. She will be reaching out and we thank you in advance for your support. Most importantly, we asked you to please keep her in your prayers.

THE DESIGN:

Sweet Soles' branding captures vibrant energy with a retro color palette and playful fonts. The logo features a colorful "S," and product imagery highlights footwear against neutral backgrounds. Our target audience is everyone, and we made sure to include bright colors to attract a viewer’s attention.

LETTER FROM CALISTA:

I hope you are well. I’m excited to share that I’ve qualified for the Business Professionals of America (BPA) Nationals in Florida this year, where I’ll be competing in the Virtual Branding Event (to learn about BPA click here: https://bpa.org/students/compete/virtual-competitions-and-nlc-national-showcase/). This is an amazing opportunity for me to showcase my skills, connect with other young professionals, and represent my school, Newark Charter, on a national level.

To make this trip possible, I’m working to raise funds to cover travel, lodging, and competition expenses. My end goal is $1161, so any support you can provide would mean the world to me and help me make the most of this incredible opportunity.

If you’d like to contribute, you can donate through https://gofund.me/c3ddd4bd. Every little bit helps and brings me one step closer to reaching my goal!

Thank you so much for considering supporting me. Your generosity and encouragement mean more than you know.

Best regards,

Calista Ponce
