Hello, my name is Mariangel Velasquez-Escobar.  I am a student at Grace Christian School, and I am asking all my friends and family to support me for my school's annual Patriot Fundraising Challenge.

The GCS Patriot Fundraising Challenge is a lot of fun for students.  The proceeds go to support the growth and mission of Grace Christian School as well as the future construction of the Robert R. Gustafson Center.

The Gustafson center will be home to a new gymnasium, 12 classrooms, two lecture auditoriums, locker rooms, concessions, and administrative offices. As you can imagine, we are excited about seeing what the Lord has in store for my school and I am respectfully asking you to be a part of it.

I love my school and am excited to a part of this year's fundraiser to help more students JUST LIKE ME attend Grace Christian School.  Here are my team’s goals:

• I have a $ 450 goal!  If I can accomplish my goal, I will be rewarded with a free trip to Busch Gardens. 
• My Class has a $ 18,000 goal!  If we can accomplish our goal, we will all be rewarded with a special Field Trip or a day off from school.
• The Class that raises the most money will have a special plaque honoring them in the new Robert R. Gustafson Center.

Thank you for your participation and for helping me and my classmates reach our goals.  Thank you for your support!
