TALL SHIP EDUCATION ACADEMY

Tall Ship Semester Sponsor a Girl campaign!

The Tall Ship Semester for Girls will set sail on March 17, 2009 for a voyage of over 2,000 nautical (straight line) miles.  This voyage costs $3 per mile per student!  Sponsor a student and help her pay for this experience of a lifetime. Here's what you do:

If you want to sponsor a specific student, please follow the instructions below after choosing the student's fundraising icon.

1.  Choose a leg of the trip you want to sponsor.  The mileage breakdown is as follows:
   a) San Juan, PR to Tortola: 100 miles
   b) Tortola to Dominica: 300 miles
   c) Dominica to Dominican Republic: 600 miles
   d) Dominican Republic to Great Inagua (Bahamas): 300 miles
   e) Great Inagua to Florida: 825 miles
Example: I will choose the San Juan to Tortola leg

2.  Decide how much money you will sponsor per mile of the voyage leg. 
Example: I will sponsor the San Juan to Tortola leg for $.50/mile

3.  Calculate your total donation. 
Example: 100miles * $.50/mile = $50

4.  Make your donation; when you are asked to give the donation in someone's name, type in the leg that you sponsored.

Sponsor Benefits! All sponsors of TSSG students will receive a postcard and/or email from the student when she completes the leg of the trip you sponsored.  In addition, the Tall Ship Education Academy will invite you to several events where you can meet our students and hear about their experiences.  Invitations to events will be mailed or emailed to you.
