I am reaching out to ask you to participate in a very special event designed to raise money to fund Project Joy and Hope 2023 Scholarships. This is a great opportunity to partner in support of Texas youth and leaders of tomorrow. Hope Scholarships recognize outstanding young people who value education, believe in service to others, and have worked hard to overcome obstacles as they complete their high school careers. Your sponsorship will plant a seed of hope for special high school graduates striving toward future educational goals. Project Joy and Hope has awarded over one million dollars in scholarships to deserving seniors in the greater Houston and surrounding areas since 2001. These amazing students are truly tomorrow's leaders. Each has experienced the death of a parent or sibling and has served their community in amazing ways despite such adversity. The Monument After Dark event will be held on Saturday evening, April 15th, at the San Jacinto Monument beginning at 6pm. Plans are underway by the Project Joy and Hope Advisory Board to make this fundraiser spectacular. We need your help! Please agree to be a sponsor for the MONUMENT AFTER DARK event. I have enclosed a SPONSOR pdf that explains the event in more detail. Every dollar raised at the Monument After Dark will be distributed to graduating seniors at our Awards Ceremony on Tuesday evening, May 16. We also will recognize donors at the ceremony event to acknowledge your generous support of the program. Thank you for your strongest consideration, as we endeavor to help these deserving and resilient young people. They are truly the future of tomorrow. Please let me know if you have any questions. I look forward to your most favorable response very soon. ** The scholarship is open for application now, see PJH's website for details. Scholarship Awards Ceremony will be May 16. **
