Won’t You Please Share In The Excitement!
Dear Business Owners, Family and Friends of Gaia:
The Sarasota Military Academy (SMA) has been bestowed a great honor. We have been invited to participate in the pre Olympic Game ceremonies in Beijing, China in June of 2008. SMA is the only public charter military high school in the United States. Our cadets (grades 9-12) are some of the finest, most polite and most patriotic teens in the country. You have probably seen them in color guards throughout the community during Veterans' & Memorial Day ceremonies, parking cars at various events and always lending a helping a hand wherever needed within the community.
On April 21st, 2008, twenty-eight of our cadets were bestowed a great honor by being named Ambassadors for the City of Sarasota by Mayor Lou Ann Palmer. Not only was this a huge honor for our cadets and our school, but it has given us a huge responsibility to represent the City of Sarasota in Beijing, China with the utmost pride, respect and honor.
Won’t you please consider helping us make this opportunity a reality? Our cadets have worked tirelessly throughout the community for over a year now and have fallen drastically short of our original $188,000 goal ($4180.00 per student). We are nearing the end of our fundraising efforts and now need to turn to you, OUR community, family and friends.
If everyone within our community would send in just $1.00, we could easily meet or even exceed our goal of now $90,000!
PLEASE! Won’t you consider giving back to our cadets a small token in terms of support, respect and honor!!! They really need your help now!
Thank you for considering,
Respectfully,
SMA Cadets
