I am reaching out for support to help launch a charitable eSports franchise that will benefit local schools and provide a valuable resource for the community. As a well-respected father of two with a lifetime of gaming experience, I am deeply passionate about creating opportunities for students to engage in eSports, not only as a hobby but as a pathway to future success. Despite facing significant employment challenges, my determination to make this vision a reality remains steadfast.
I have meticulously crafted a business plan, selected and approved a franchise, and studied the area to ensure the success of this endeavor. My goal is to open an eSports franchise that will host tournaments, provide training, and offer a welcoming environment for students to develop their gaming skills. The crew I have assembled boasts over 100 years of combined experience in the gaming industry, ensuring a professional and supportive atmosphere for all participants.
My professional background includes extensive experience as an award-winning manager, with expertise in construction, IT, cable technology, project management, facilities management, and more. Over my 30-year career, I have received countless prestigious awards for customer service excellence. However, my recent job history has been fraught with challenges, largely due to circumstances beyond my control.
I left a job where I was in the top 1% of the company worldwide after accepting a pay cut to prove myself. Despite my success, the raise I received was insufficient, forcing me to seek better opportunities to support my family and pursue my dream of opening an eSports franchise.
My next job promised higher pay but failed to deliver, leaving me financially disadvantaged while I worked tirelessly to clean up after my predecessors and turn the company around. In my following position, I was promoted to a senior role within a month, only to lose the job due to department restructuring caused by previous mismanagement.
I then took on a role as a store manager, where I worked diligently to fix numerous issues. Unfortunately, unknown to most of the staff, the company was struggling financially. We worked for over a month without pay, trusting promises of reimbursement. When the company laid everyone off without compensation, I pursued legal action and won, yet I have only received a portion of what I am owed.
The fallout from these experiences has left me unemployed for over a year and a half. Despite my qualifications, I have faced blacklisting from previous employers, hindering my ability to secure new employment. During this time, I have supported my family by paying bills with credit cards and my wife’s income, selling personal belongings, and even my daughter’s car. Despite these hardships, I have remained committed to providing for my children, putting my daughter through college and supporting my son through high school.
In addition to my family’s needs, I have opened my home to others in need, including my son’s friend, who was displaced from an abusive home, and a friend who lived with us rent-free for over seven years due to a nasty divorce.
While I did secure a six-month contract position, budget concerns prevented them from retaining me long-term, even though I was highly valued by my colleagues. I have applied to over 1,000 positions, but the job market remains challenging, with responses from only about 2% of applications. I often find myself either overqualified or reaching the final interview stage without success.
Despite these obstacles, my commitment to launching a charitable eSports franchise for local schools has never wavered. This venture is not just a business; it is a chance to give back to the community and inspire the next generation of gamers. With a goal of raising $300,000 to $600,000, I am confident we can get everything started and make a lasting impact. The area I plan to serve is home to major corporations like Intel and Nike, both of which have shown interest in eSports, and I believe I can secure their involvement once we get off the ground. eSports has rapidly grown, becoming a varsity sport, with colleges offering courses and teams dedicated to it, and its inclusion in the Olympics soon is a testament to its legitimacy and potential.
Thank you for considering my request. Together, we can overcome these challenges and build a brighter future for our community through eSports.
