My Project

Help us expand our esports activities.

I am writing to you on behalf of the Argo esports club at Maspeth High School.

As you may know, our esports lounge has become a vibrant hub for students who are passionate about competitive gaming. We are continually seeking ways to expand our offerings and provide our students with the best possible experience.

In response to student interest, we are excited to announce our goal to introduce a new gaming platform to our lounge: the Nintendo Switch. This addition will not only diversify the types of games available but also allow our students to participate in a wider range of esports activities.

To make this a reality, we are reaching out to generous supporters like you for assistance. We aim to raise funds to purchase a Nintendo Switch console along with the necessary accessories, including additional controllers and popular game titles. Your donation, no matter the amount, will make a significant impact on our students and their ability to explore new gaming opportunities.

Your support will help us:

- Expand the variety of esports games available to our students.

- Encourage teamwork, strategic thinking, and healthy competition.

- Create a more inclusive environment where more students can find games they enjoy.

We deeply appreciate any contribution you can make to help us reach our goal. Donations can be made via [insert donation method], and all funds will go directly towards enhancing our esports lounge.

Thank you for considering our request. With your help, we can continue to foster a love for esports and provide our students with the tools they need to succeed both in gaming and in life.
