My Project

Support students as they use a hat press machine to boost school spirit and raise funds for peers who dream of going to conferences and field trips but lack the financial means.

Project Essay:

At our school, we believe that school spirit and student opportunity go hand-in-hand. We’re launching a student-led initiative to create custom hats that celebrate our school pride—while using the profits to fund field trips and DECA conferences for classmates who aspire to attend but face financial barriers.

With your help, we’d like to purchase a hat press machine and materials that allow our entrepreneurial students to design and produce school-branded hats for spirit days, games, and community events,build skills in business, design, and marketing as part of our DECA and Work-Based Learning programs.

We can raise money for a student DECA CONFERENCE OR SCHOOL FIELD TRIPS that directly supports less fortunate peers striving to attend various school functions.

This project will instill a sense of leadership and purpose,

provide hands-on experience in entrepreneurship, and

give students the chance to give back to their peers in a meaningful way. It boosts school pride and community connection.

Each hat becomes more than just apparel—it becomes a symbol of empowerment, unity, and hope. The ultimate goal? To make sure that no student is denied a dream due to lack of funds.

We need a Heat Press Machine (cap heat press) and by supporting this project, you're helping students turn spirit into exposure and opportunity. Together, we can create a culture of pride and possibility—where students not only wear their school colors with pride, but also open doors for one another’s futures.
