Friends and Family,

For the past two summers Harper and I have attended Student Leadership University, a Christian based leadership conference. During our SLU 101 and 201 experience, we visited Orlando and Washington DC. This summer during 201 Harper won an essay contest giving her the opportunity to lay the wreath at The Tomb of the Unknown Soldier. Harper has also continued her leadership by being chosen to participate in the SLU Ambassador program for the 2024-2025 school year. The next step of SLU is SLU 301 and we have been given an incredible opportunity to attend 301. 301 will take us to London, Oxford, Paris and the beaches of Normandy. As you could imagine this trip is quite a bit pricier than SLU 101 and SLU 201. This is where we could use your help. If you feel led to help us experience this incredible once in a lifetime experience we would be ever so grateful for your generosity. Harper's dream is to go all the way with SLU, but we can only do it with your help. She also plans to enter the essay contest this year for a chance to lay a wreath at Normandy.

Below is the mission of SLU. Thank you in advance for any donations that you are able to give.

We believe that God has called us to prepare the next generation to Think, Dream, and Lead through a challenging series of leadership training processes that equip them to have a Renaissance Mind, The Heart of a Patriot, The Soul of a Saint, The Discipline of a Champion, and the Influence of a Leader.

We accomplish this vision through leadership adventures that are marketed through significant relationships across multiple denominational lines, delivered with excellence, and lead to a sustainable, long-term relationship.
