The Description

We are raising $5,000 for our Young Inventors Showcase in May at the University of Houston. The $5,000 will cover food/table rentals, entertainment, and funding for the patent that the winner receives. We have over 20 schools and 2,500 students from around the Houston area participating in this year’s showcase. Our organization that runs the program is a non-profit and is only able to host this event off of contributions and corporate sponsorships. We want to make this years event the most exciting event that we have hosted. We are putting together a great showcase for these hard-working, intelligent students by bringing out mime troops, jugglers, etc. This will keep the thousands of entrants and attendees entertained as we celebrate our students’ achievements. My team and I really hope you can help make this event even more special for our well-deserving participating students! If you live in the Houston area, we invite you to the Inventors Showcase so you can see exactly what your contribution has impacted. I will send you more information about the event upon receiving your investment! With these funds I will...be able to do the following: 1. Expand the program to other communities. 2. Help support an initiative to export the YIS to the country of Qatar. 3. Give back a portion of proceeds to each school to make YIS stronger in the school. Anything you can allocate towards this event will be GREATLY appreciated!

Back Up Plan

If we do not meet the $5,000 goal, we will use the funds to purchase as much as we can of the items above. Since we want to provide all of the items above for our students, we will find a way to make up the remaining amount that we don't raise. BUT we hope that this doesn’t become an issue.
