My Project
The DECA chapter is thrilled to announce the reinstatement of our organization, which has achieved remarkable success by reaching the international competition in just our second year. As we welcome new members, we seek your generous support to fund essential items to enhance their experience and growth within DECA. We aim to create an environment where young leaders can thrive, and these materials will play a crucial role in facilitating their learning and engagement. The requested items include mini notebooks, premium hair scrunchies, pre-sharpened Ticonderoga pencils, and large kraft paper bags. These supplies will be included in a membership bag designed to empower our members in their academic and professional journeys.
Your donations will provide necessary resources and foster a sense of community and belonging among our new members.
The mini notebooks and pencils will be tools for note-taking and brainstorming, while the stylish scrunchies will help cultivate team spirit and pride. The Kraft paper bags will be used for various DECA events, showcasing our dedication and professionalism. Supporting this initiative is an investment in the future leaders of tomorrow. Together, we can ensure that our DECA chapter continues to inspire and prepare students for career success and beyond. Thank you for considering donating to our cause!
