We Can Help Our Students Further Their Education by Popping

Help me give my students a popcorn popper for the booster booth. The booster booth gives scholarships to students to further their education.

My Project

We live in a small rural poor community. We have a booster booth that is essential to providing students with low cost snacks and popcorn is one of their favorites. Our current machine cannot be used properly because of its age. A replacement would make a big difference in our ability to provide for our students and community.

We also use it at sporting events which provides for the entire community.

With the money we make from snacks at sporting events, we give it all back in the form of scholarships and we also help to purchase sporting equipment and uniforms the teams may need. a new popcorn machine would allow us to increase sales, therefore, increasing funds to help the students and community.
