Greetings fellow GAACsters, An exciting journey is underway as we host an astronomical science writing contest for high-school students, aiming to inspire the next generation of thinkers and dreamers. This initiative, supported by esteemed partners, encourages young minds to express their creativity through essays, speculative fiction, and poetry centered on the wonders of the universe. Your support is crucial in bringing this vision to life. The first $1000 of our goal will fund prizes for the six finalists, while the remaining amount will honor our dedicated reviewers who are guiding these young writers. Each contribution, no matter the size, will help us create an enriching experience that can pave the way for future contests and foster a love for astronomy. Join us in making a lasting impact on these budding writers and our community. Thank you for considering this opportunity to ignite passion and creativity in our youth. Best regards, Bill Waller https://gofund.me/dde33e3e
