As you may know I am currently working on my college degree at Southwest Baptist University, where I am a member of the SBU Bearcat Women's Basketball team.
This season our team is playing two games in Puerto Rico and we have each been asked to raise $1,000 for the trip, to Puerto Rico.

We are excited for the opportunity to explore a new culture and build our team chemistry. Please consider donating to support me and my team for this amazing opportunity.
You can GIVE ONLINE at SBUniv.info/wbbpuertorico and click Donate Now!
Thank you again for the positive impact you have had on my life! BB 💜
