Hello Friends and Family!

As many of you may know, my family and I have been huge advocates for helping youths pursue an education in STEM skills via the Arman Roy Foundation. Arman is my dear cousin how passed away a few years ago at a young age. Through the foundation, we keep Arman's fire and passion for technology alive and provide hope and access to technology to those less fortunate.

On March 24th, Arman Roy would have been celebrating his 17th birthday and like many young adults looking forward to college applications and pursuing a degree in technology. Although his life was tragically cut short, his legacy continues on through Hope Scholars, a program that awards young adults with the same caring spirit and passion for tech, a 4-year $2500 scholarship to Stockton University.

Shelly and I are doing our part to raise money for this scholarship program by finally cutting my ridiculous hair. I have been growing out my hair for over 3 years now. I've constantly been asked 'so what's the deal with your hair situation?' over the past few years, so it's time to put your money where your mouth is and not only help raise money for an amazing cause but also to finally get me to chop my man bun off!

Our ‘Birthday Dollars for Hope Scholars’ campaign is a celebration of Arman’s life and a gift to others who will have the promise of a more positive future. Thank you for joining our celebration and contributing to this special birthday campaign! We will be collecting donations from March 15th through the 31st! We would like to raise $1,000 (and hopefully more!) through this campaign to help out this wonderful organization!

Once you donate, I'll be sharing details on how/when to watch the ceremonial hair cut LIVE on Instagram! Thank you again for supporting this great cause.

Thank you,
Hope Sparkers: Sheal and Shelly

Note: If you have any questions about this event or campaign, please send an email to vkochhar@armanroy.org. Thank you!
