During the month of November the 7th and 8th grade boys and girls of Our Lady of Mount Carmel school developed different activities in which they
could raise money for Foundation SCA's programs. I visited the school last April to speak about my experience and the importance of incorporating a spirit of service and social responsibility into your daily life. Apparently I made an impression!The students broke up into teams to come up with an activity, timeline, and fundraising goal. Some of the activities they developed were: an apples to apples tournament in which an 'entry fee' was charged, a bake sale, guessing the number of M&M's in a jar, a gingerbread house contest, and ladder golf.
At the end of all of their hard work, the students raised nearly $1,000 for our cause. They are such an inspiration to all young people. The Board and Staff couldn't be happier that we have such enthusiastic young people on our side, and hope to see this kind of movement spread in 2010.
