DECA national competition in Orlando, Florida

After recently competing at the DECA state competition in Chattanooga, TN, I will be advancing to the International Career Development Conference  in Orlando, Florida in late April. DECA is an organization where you compete in business-type scenarios to gain experience dealing with issues within a company. This is my second year competing, and my first opportunity at the International level. DECA has helped me to discover my interest in pursuing a major in marketing when I attend the University of Tennessee, Knoxville this fall. Competing has taught me so much about myself and has helped me gain many valuable experiences that will prepare me for my future. It would be a privilege to represent my school in Orlando, but the 5 day trip is quite costly. I would really appreciate any donation you'd be willing to give, no matter how large or small. Thank you so much to Ms. Stevens for encouraging me, to my family and to everyone who has supported me along the way! :)
