Dear Members and Friends of FAI,

The Filipino Athletes International Organization is a non-profit organization that provides financial support to exceptional foreign based athletes of Filipino descent in order to make it possible for them to represent the Philippines in the upcoming Southeast Asian games. In addition, we provide support to homegrown young Filipino athletes. Our support makes it possible for them to receive training in the U.S.A. helping them reach their potential.

We are proud to let you know that 9 FAI athletes have been selected to the Philippine National Team. Heidi Ilustre, Diane Pascua, Chad Mowrey, and Justin Schnor will compete, as members of the RP Beach Volleyball National Team, at the 23^rd Southeast Asian Games in Manila, Philippines in November-December 2005. They are 4 of the 9 FAI athletes, who all have the potential of winning gold medals, to compete as members of the Philippine contingent to the South East Asian Games. Our athletes will be competing in beach volleyball, track and field, and swimming representing the Philippines.

We are currently faced with a financial challenge. In order to continue our support to these young men and women, we need your assistance. To meet this challenge, our organization has proposed a membership program, $25 membership fee for an individual or $50 per family. Members will be recognized for their support on our website at www.filipinoathletes.org, or choose to remain anonymous . Your donation is tax deductible (please make all donations payable to “Filipino Athletes International”)

We plead with you to give this organization your sincere consideration. Help us make a unified effort to provide for our young Filipino athletes.

Sincerely,

Filipino Athletes International
