Dear Sirs and Madams
Hi my name is Lucian Brink I am in 7[SUP]th[/SUP] grade and this year, I have been fortunate to have been selected as a member of the Ohio All-Star Wrestling Team. Now in its 32nd year, the Ohio All-Stars are one of the most respected youth wrestling teams in the country. This year’s team will consist of 26 of the top 5th-9th grade wrestlers from Ohio and the eastern United States. Team members were selected on the basis of academic, athletic and civic achievements. I am a member of the National Junior Honor Society (NJHS) which requires a 3.3 grade point average to be accepted into. I am a first class boy scout and I am also the first wrestler from my home town of Coshocton to be chosen for a spot on this team in 32 years.
This is 45 day tour in which we will travel through seven states including: Utah, Wyoming, Oregon, California, Nevada, Colorado and Washington. We will wrestle other all-star teams from each of these states that will be made up of some of the best wrestlers in that state. I will get to see some of the best sight-seeing spots and some of the biggest monuments in the western united states like the olympic training center.
Since 1983, more than 550 top young athletes have competed as a member of this team. Trip alumni have gone on to win 5 NCAA titles, more than 150 State High School crowns and more than 25 USA Cadet and Junior National titles. Among the more prominent alumni are NCAA Champions Alan Fried, Rex Holman, Sheldon Thomas, Corey Kline and Ryan Bertin.
In order to make this trip a reality, each wrestler must raise $5000. I am visiting the local businesses and individuals to ask for their help in sponsoring my portion of this tour and hope that you will provide a donation to help me participate. As an affiliated member organization of the Amateur Athletic Union (AAU), all contributions are tax deductible.
I believe this summer’s experience will result in improvements in both my wrestling skills and in my ability to face top notch competition in pressure situations. I also feel that the tour will make me a more mature and confident individual.
I am looking forward to facing the best wrestlers in the country and will work hard towards this goal. I will represent Coshocton’s and Ohio’s youth to the best of my ability.
Many thanks for your interest and support.
Sincerely,
Lucian Brink
