I am writing to you on behalf of the McAllen Rugby team and our sponsors to introduce the JC Silva Memorial Youth Rugby Scholarship Fund. This scholarship has been established in memory of JC Silva, a dedicated McAllen Rugby player and coach, who used the sport as a means to mentor and coach students from PSJA alternative schools between 2009 and 2016. Tragically, his life was cut short by a drunk driver in 2021.
JC Silva, together with Carlos and Mario Bracamontes, played a significant role in using rugby as a tool to guide and support young individuals who have faced challenges and adversity in their lives. To honor his legacy and continue his mission of providing a second chance to those in need, we have initiated this scholarship fund.
The JC Silva Memorial Youth Rugby Scholarship aims to support students who have overcome difficult circumstances and are striving to create a better future for themselves. By contributing to this fund, you can help us give deserving kids the opportunity to pursue their educational goals and dreams.
JC believed that education is a powerful tool that can transform lives and open doors to brighter possibilities. Your generosity and support will make a meaningful impact on the lives of these students, allowing them to access the resources they need to succeed.
We kindly ask for your support in donating to the JC Silva Memorial Youth Rugby Scholarship Fund. Your contribution, no matter the size, will make a difference in the lives of young individuals who are working hard to overcome challenges and build a better future.
Thank you for considering our request and for your continued support. Together, we can honor JC Silva's memory and make a positive impact on the lives of deserving students.
Sincerely,
Carlos Bracamontes
