Dear Friends, Family, and Supporters,
Hi, my name is Bella Betts, and l've been given an incredible opportunity to travel to Europe through EF Tours with one of my teachers who is also my volleyball coach-and a group of fellow students.
This once-in-a-lifetime trip will take place **June 15-24, 2027**, and I am so excited for the chance to learn, grow, and experience the world beyond the classroom.
Throughout this journey, I will:
* Explore historic landmarks in **London**, including Big Ben, St. Paul's Cathedral, and the Houses of Parliament
* Travel by Eurostar to **Paris**, where I'll visit the Eiffel Tower, Champs-Élysées, and enjoy a Seine River cruise
* Participate in a hands-on Parisian art class
* Travel through the beautiful Burgundy region into Switzerland and visit **Lucerne** and the Swiss Alps
* Experience Lake Lucerne and ride a cog railway into the mountains
* Visit **Zurich** and tour the Lindt House of Chocolate
* Explore **Liechtenstein**
* Spend time in **Munich**, including a guided tour and a visit to the Dachau Memorial Site
* Travel to **Prague** to experience even more history and culture
This trip is more than just travel—it's a chance for me to step outside my comfort zone, learn about different cultures, and create memories that will stay with me for the rest of my life. Between school, volleyball, and racing, I work hard to balance everything, and this opportunity means so much to me.
I am currently fundraising to help cover the cost of this trip. If you are able to support me, I would be incredibly grateful for any donation. **Checks can be made payable to Richard or Bambi Betts.
Donations may be used as a tax write-off-please consult your tax professional for details.**
If you're unable to donate, sharing this letter or keeping me in your thoughts is greatly appreciated.
Thank you so much for supporting me and being part of my journey!
Sincerely,
Bella Betts
