“Give One Get One” Donation Drive
Dear Friends and Alumni,
Have you heard our story?
During the Great Financial Crisis, now over a decade ago, I was driving 2 hours both ways to work. I was trying to raise a family while also losing my home and my belongings. We were fortunate enough to have a safety net, and we moved in with my incredible father (himself a Viet-nam Army veteran with Silver Wings, Bronze Star, and a Purple Heart among other awards and accolades).
I was pretty hopeless for a while, at least that was until Splunk® changed my life in nearly the blink of an eye. After I took some courses and got certified, my phone started ringing off the hook. Everyone wanted to hire me, and I started working from home (still do). Now, I can afford to live my life any way I want. I’m uber comfortable…
Sure, I’d love to take it all for myself [sic:my family] but how could I forget all the help I was given along the way? So no, I’m refusing to keep it all in my head, and I’m refusing take it all for my dynasty. Instead I’m going to pay it forward. Which is exactly what I’ve been doing since 2020.
After investing half a million dollars of my own money, and countless hours of my team’s time, I’m proud to announce that we’ve created a training program that has impacted the lives of over 10,000 individuals globally. This year, we’re going much bigger though.
This year we need your help too!
If your life was impacted like mine, or if you’ve witnessed our come-up and would like to continue to support us, then please do donate today. Your donation will help us support our vision, and if you donate during our fund raiser, I’ll be sure to double the value to you and the community. As a thank you for your donation we’ll be giving you a free training voucher good for any one of our courses which you can share with anyone or keep for yourself!
Please support our vision and goal.
Our vision is to bridge the educational gap for under-served students, active duty military, and veterans. Our goal is to provide high impact technical training to active duty military, veterans, and under-served populations at zero cost to them.
How we achieve our vision and goal:
We take donations from patriotic, kind hearted, individuals such as yourself and we apply them directly to training others through our scholarships, online training programs, and curriculum. We also use your donations to help us raise funds from other organizations, as well as local, state, and federal government in the form of grants.
How you can help us make a difference:
Donate now at one of our “Give One Get One” levels and as a token of our appreciation we’ll gift you a free course of your choosing. You’re welcome to re-gift the gift as well. This is a fabulous way to help a veteran or under-served person learn Splunk® today. So reach deep knowing your contribution may change someone’s life forever and click on donate today!
With Sincere Gratitude and Appreciation,
Michael C. Bentley
