Dear Supporter of the Written Word,
As you consider the organizations and causes that matter to you, we ask that you keep JustWrite in mind.
JustWrite uses multi‑genre creative writing to inspire, uplift, and build the confidence of high school writers in Ohio, Michigan, and Pennsylvania.
Teen passions, voices, and stories deserve recognition from their communities, their state, and the world around them. JustWrite provides the platform that helps them reach these heights—but we need your support to grow and to reach even more young writers across Ohio, Michigan, and Pennsylvania.
Say “Yes” to JustWrite. Help us empower today’s teens, who are tomorrow’s leaders.
Sincerely,
Michael Nelson
Executive Director, JustWrite, Inc
In Memory of James Brondige
November 3, 1941-August 13, 2026
JustWrite is proud to honor the memory of James Brondige.
James was an avid storyteller who found tales in his life, his favorite hobby of stamp collecting, and the world around him. His stamps were little stories in tiny squares of paper. He saw their beauty, and if you sat with him long enough, you couldn’t help but see it too. James was also full of laughter and jokes. He could brighten a room and make random strangers smile. He loved life, his family, and service to others.
To honor James, JustWrite will be adding a State Tournament award for humor, celebrating the stories that embrace the light and laughter life provides.
Thank you for your donation and for helping to empower teens and the power of words that James instilled in his family.
