Big Break Challenge 2011

by kristin.madeja on February 23, 2011

Need money to go on Big Break?  Would $100 help?  Chicago Metro CCC will provide you with up to $100 toward your Big Break costs, and all you need to do is send out 15 support letters asking others to partner with you in reaching other College Students on Spring Break in Florida.  Here are the details.

1) Use the resources on the Big Break website to draft your letter and decide who to send it to.

2) Email the letter to a staff person from your campus for approval.

3) Print the letters and address the envelopes.  Also provide a response card and return envelope for people to mail the checks in with.  Give them to a staff person.  We will pay your postage and mail the letters for you! You must give the letters and envelopes to your staff person at least 3 weeks prior to the day you leave so that there is sufficient time to collect the money (IUN students leaving March 11 must turn in letters by February 28th).

4) As the trip approaches follow up your letters with phone calls and collect money.  The total cost you’ll need for the trip is approximately $454  ($269 for the conference & $185 for travel).  We will subtract whatever comes in from $439 and pay the rest for you up to $100!

*To qualify for the $100 for the March 20 – 26th trip you must be riding the bus Chicago Metro is renting as the discount is meant to offset the cost of  travel.
