Why we're blogging

Hey everyone! That's Dontay, leading the pack. He is a sprinter for the Noblesville High School Track & Field Team in Noblesville, Indiana. He is a junior this year. Down Under Sports has invited him to compete in an international track and field competition in Australia, in July 2014. So we are currently seeking ways to fundraise nearly $5200.00 for his trip. As of December 5th, 2013, that balance is down to approximately $4400.00 because of help from people like you.

This blog is our way of keeping our friends, community and family informed of our progress and eventually of his trip and competition in Australia. I would love for this to become a very interactive blog, with ideas and advice about fundraising and possible (free or low cost) venues to hold fundraising events. We are currently looking for businesses or individuals who would be willing to donate items that we can raffle or auction off. You can also help by donating here: Dontay's Big Australian Fundraiser. As of today we have just 10 days left to earn a 30% match from Down Under Sports on everything we earn.

I hope to provide daily updates on totals, fundraising plans, photos and more!

So please share our blog with your friends and family. Bookmark us and come back often to check in. Most of all, help us spread the word. Any and all help is greatly appreciated. We have a large task in front of us and we can't do it without you!

Thank you so much for stopping by and for your support. It really means a lot to us!

Hugs,
The Wells Family
