Dear Friends of the UMass Quidditch Team, 

Thank you so much for helping us to achieve our goal last year to compete at Regionals. Thanks to your support and our hard work on the field, we qualified for the USQ tournament in Texas, which we competed in last Spring. This year, in place of competing at Regionals, we are going to compete in the Brotherly Love Quidditch Cup in Chestnut Hill, PA. This tournament is part of the annual Harry Potter Weekend there and will be a great experience for us, especially because one of the Quidditch Team's main goal in all of our endeavors is to have fun in a way that is inclusive to all. Recently The Rainbow Times wrote an article about how inclusive quidditch is and how our team embodies that inclusiveness. (article link: http://www.therainbowtimesmass.com/umass-amherst-quidditch-team-offers-welcoming-environment-lgbtq-students-youth/ ). We would love for you to consider giving a donation of any amount to our team in order to make this dream a reality, which can be done here: minutefund.umass.edu/quidditch . 

We couldn't have gone to Regionals without you help, and we hope you will help us continue to be able to meet teams from across the country and have such great experiences as a team. 

Thank you so much,

Annierose Klingbeil
