Sent Scott to Taipei

Hello all,

The name's Scott and I'm the captain of the gold team. I'm writing this post asking for your support so I can attend the Deaflympics as part of the United States Deaf Water Polo team. I have established a fundraising website at www.giveforward.org/taipeibound.

Before I explain about the website, I would like to take the time and explain to you why I am asking for your support. As part of USDWP, one has to fundraise our own way seeing that we do not get any financial support. The cost of the trip that will begin on August 25th and run for three weeks is approximately $4,500. That will cover the round-trip flight from Los Angeles to Taipei, room and board for three weeks, and several miscellaneous expenses.

Now this is where you come in play, I am using GiveForward.org for several reasons. I used to intern there and with their support, they have allowed me to use their services at a low fee. All you need to do to contribute is to go to www.giveforward.org/taipeibound, and put down how much you want to contribute. From there, you will enter some information and I will be able to get your donation. Even 5 dollars helps me get closer to the funds needed. This is a tax-deductible donation and you will be presented with the USDWP tax id number.

We are shooting for the GOLD medal and with your support, we can achieve it! Do not hesitate to contact me with any questions. If you are willing to help, I am willing to help.
