I am going to Australia in July 2006 to play soccer and represent the U.S. in the Youth Friendship Games. Unfortunately, the opportunity is ratehr expensive. about $6,000. I have a year to come up with the money, that means earning money, having fundraisers, and getting sponsers. I am 14 years old, female and live in a rather small town in southern Maine. Can you please give me ideas of companies who might sponser me, ideas of how to earn money, fundraiser ideas?
I REALLLY want to be able to go on this trip. PLEASE HELP!! If you want to know more about the program or want to talk to me more directly answer this and let me know and leave your email. That way I can email you. Thanks to anyone who answers!
sunkistsarah answered Saturday May 21 2005, 8:45 pm: That is an awesome opportunity! Ask your parents if the people they work for could sponser you. What about your school? You could try babysitting and save money from that too. See if there are any places near you that hire 14 year olds. I know you would have to do probably all of these ideas yo raise that much money but if you try and you can get sponsers and save all the money you can get, then hopefully it will work out! Good Luck...i hope you get to go because it sound so fun!! [ sunkistsarah's advice column | Ask sunkistsarah A Question ]
