What she wrote:

I am 23 years old and squeaking out a living in the small mountain town of Durango, Colorado though I'm a native of Clackamas, Oregon. This is my second summer of playing competatively. My brother introduced me to disc golf 3 years ago at McIver State Park in Estacada. Living in Durango makes it quite hard to make it to tournaments being that virtually every tourney is a good 5 hour drive away over a minimum of 2 major mountain passes. Luckily, my employers have been very supportive of my obsession which often requires me to miss a day or two of work for travel. The reason I would love a sponsorship is so that I can attend an A-Tier event for the first time at the Colorado State Championships in Colorado Springs this October. My game has improved dramatically the past couple of months (have won my first two tourneys and shot under par during a tournament round for the first time) and I'd like to see how I stack up in an A-Tier event. Attending this event would require missed work, a 5-6 hour drive in a car older than I am, lodging and food expenses and the other usual incidentals. So, any financial help available would be greatly appreciated. I am thankful for an organization like Sassy Pants that is out there trying to get more women out playing. Don't get me wrong-I love playing with the boys most the time but it's great to have an awesome group of women to play a round with. Here's to Chicks with Discs!
