Let's Get Ulysses to DC!

Hello Chaffee County! I am starting this fundraiser to help get 14-year old Salida youth Ulysses Jarvis to a leadership conference in Washington DC this July. www.envisionexperience.com Because of his good grades and leadership ability, Ulysses was nominated by his teacher Samantha Bahn to attend the conference July 16-21, 2022. The cost of the conference is $2,495. Thanks to Jan, Mike, Cathy, Sarah, and the audience at Mother Jones, we have already raised $1,100. All funds raised here will go towards covering the remaining balance of the conference ($1,395) and the cost of his return flight from Denver to DC ($495) Let's pool our pennies so Ulysses can participate in this once in a lifetime opportunity!
