Dear John,

We are thrilled to announce that we have already raised $24,000 which is almost half of our summer goal for the Lake / DiVall Scholarship! Thanks to the generous contributions from individuals both within and outside the industry, we are making significant strides in supporting women pursuing careers in political consulting.

However, our mission doesn’t stop here. We have even greater ambitions for this program beyond the summer, and we need your continued support to make this a lasting initiative. Whether or not you have directly worked with Celinda Lake or Linda DiVall, you understand the profound impact they have had on our industry. Their careers have set a high standard for women in political consulting, and it is our aim to honor their legacy by extending the reach of this scholarship program.

The Lake / DiVall Scholarship offers a unique opportunity for recipients to participate in a 9-week, full-time internship at a member firm of the American Association of Political Consultants (AAPC). This hands-on experience, coupled with direct financial grants for undergraduate education, will provide invaluable support to talented young women with a passion for politics and campaigns.

We are reaching out to ask for your help in furthering this scholarship, so we can continue to nurture the next generation of women leaders in political consulting. Your support will enable us to expand our reach and make a lasting difference.

Thank you for your consideration and support.
