Doolittle needs help to attend medical leaders congress

Brooke Doolittle, a sophomore at Escambia County High School, has the opportunity to be a delegate to the Congress of Future Medical Leaders in Lowell, Mass., June 25-27.

Although she has been raising money, she is still shy of her goal and time is getting short. Her GoFundMe account – Sending Broke to Harvard – is up and running. Several past and current educators have stepped up to donate.

The Congress is an honors-only program for high school students who want to become physicians or go into medical research fields. The purpose of this event is to honor, inspire, motivate and direct the top students in the country who aspire to be physicians or medical scientists, to stay true to their dream and, after the event, to provide a path, plan and resources to help them reach their goal.

The GoFundMe account is set up, but you make also contact Brooke’s mom, Melissa Daniel, at Escambia County Middle School to make a donation.
