I hope you all are doing really really well.  We've been doing some 
brainstorming for Future Camp 2011 already...just you wait :).

I'm emailing today because I'm hoping that you can help me spread the 
word on a new project I'm on that shows real promise for changing 
education paradigms.

Do you know anyone who's 18 or 19 years old and wants to create 
breakthroughs in science/tech?  They'll get an amazing opportunity and 
funding!  Might you have a list that you can send on this info/flier 
to?  We really want to get the word out to promising students.

See the copy below about the fellowship.

Thanks,

Danielle

We have an exciting fellowship program called 20 Under 20 and we hope 
that your most entrepreneurial and science/tech minded students will 
apply. We’re looking to give $100,000 each to 20 people under the age of 
20 years old to carry out whatever big ideas they have that they want to 
pursue right now.  We’re open to all sorts of worthy goals and we want 
to help the next generation become better innovators.

We think that these fellows will make a lasting impression on our world 
and we’d love for your program to be involved in making that difference. 
  The free application is due December 31.

I would really appreciate your help in spreading the word.  Could you 
pass this information on to students?  Or hang a flier (see attached)? 
  Also, is there someone that you would recommend that I talk to about 
this fellowship?  We could also have one of our team members come to 
give a presentation.  Please let me know if you’re interested.

For more info please see 20Under20.org <http://20under20.org/>or be in 
touch.
