We have made our INDIEGOGO GOAL of $1400!!

This is so incredibly exciting! Right now, we are beyond our goal by over $300! You can see a list of our amazing contributors directly right of this post.

Indiegogo: GAPP Online Fundraiser

Sunday, May 12, 2013

Hello Amazing Community Supporters, 
As you may realize, we are coming down to the last four weeks before we make our exchange trip to Germany on June 9th! 
Five students are traveling from Pacific Crest Community School and eight from Madison High School!

You may have known that we had the Beulahland fundraisers in April, students have been working for community members through Teens Work for Exchange, we had our Bowl-A-Thon and our garage sale is coming memorial day weekend at 116 NE 29th Ave (weather dependent). 

Now, we have one more fundraiser that I am requesting folks to participate in through online efforts. This fundraiser will go towards our food and museum visit budget while we are in Berlin (4 days, 5 nights) and Hamburg (1 day). The online fundraiser is through Indiegogo, which accepts paypal, debit, or credit cards. 

If you could contribute even $5, it would be huge help towards our goal of $1400 by June 1st at 11:59 pm (PST)Please consider contributing if you have ever been an exchange student, known an exchange student, and/or have known how exchange experiences can enhance our world for the better.

If you unable to contribute now, please share this link with your friends and/or post it on your social media. We want to spread the word as far and wide as we can. We sincerely appreciate your time!

If you have any questions about our trip, the German American Partnership Program, or where the money is going, please contact me at msmyriahjday@gmail.com

Sending our very best for this last big push to make a very enriching experience for all students and community members involved.
