Help Kieran go to Japan!
Donation protected
Hi, I'm Kieran.
I'm a Grade 11 student at Pacific School of Innovation and Inquiry (PSII) in Victoria, BC, Canada.
I really want to go on my school's educational and cultural trip to Japan this spring break (March 2017) ... so much so that I'm willing to accept crazy challenges in appreciation for your support!
I need to raise $2,500 CDN ($1,860 USD) by March 1st, 2017 (see below for my budget).
I have come up with a couple of challenges already, for when we reach each level of donations, and I encourage you to suggest other challenges as I go (they just have to be legal, safe, and parent-approved):
$500: My friends will throw me into the Pacific Ocean in the middle of winter and I will post the video for all to see.
$1,000: Challenge me!
$1,500: Challenge me!
$2,000: Challenge me!
$2,500: I will perform my first-ever solo fire staff performance* and post the video!
(*Note: To ensure safety for the $2,500 challenge, I will be trained and supervised by Vesta Entertainment, a contemporary circus troupe in Nanaimo, BC.)
In addition, for every person who donates $100 or more, I will send a personalized postcard to you from Japan!
---------------------------
The 10-day school trip to Japan is to provide an educational and cultural experience for a group of ~20 learners from Grades 9-12. We will be staying in Tokyo, Kyoto, and Nara, and visiting museums, temples, and heritage sites.
We have determined our individual budgets as follows:
Air fare $1,300
Accomodations $600
Train pass $380
Local travel $25
Food $300
Admission fees to museums etc: $30
------------------
Total: $2,635
We have already raised some funds by doing other fundraisers such as bottle drives and a silent auction. So, I have set a goal of raising $2,500.
This trip means so much to me because I have always wanted to visit Japan, especially after hosting several Japanese exchange students over the last few years. I'm intrigued to experience Japanese culture. Also, I am currently writing a fantasy novel at school and I'm interested in medieval weaponry, so I'm looking forward to learning more about feudal Japan.
Thank you all very much for your support. I am so grateful for your generosity, as my parents can only contribute a small amount to my trip.
So, please suggest some crazy challenges for me to do at each level of fundraising! I'm ready!!
