I'm grateful to belong to a chapter that is so active in providing opportunities for members. I have participated in many chapter events that have helped me to gain a deeper understanding of public relations. PRSSA has also provided some valuable hands-on experiences that I will never forget.

But all of these events and opportunities cost money. In order to provide such a high-quality experience to members, our chapter participates in a unique fund raising program:  the Student Group Partnership. A part of the money collected from the BYU Annual Fund is dedicated to support student clubs and organizations. Instead of just giving the money to clubs, the Annual Fund allows students to write thank-you letters to donors in exchange for funding.

The money raised from participation in this program forms the majority of our chapter's budget. Without the help of students each semester, the chapter could not function successfully.

I will be visiting PR classes next week to solicit participation. I hope you seriously consider helping out.  You may even get some extra credit!

If you have any questions or would like to participate, feel free to contact me.

As the former VP of Fundraising I know how much time and effort goes into the letter writing campaign, by Abram and by students and members, each year. While it does take effort, it is well worth it. Our chapter is lucky enough to host the events and services it does because of the willingness of our members to help write letters. Please get involved this semester!
