BHS IT Campaign Chooses Charity for 2013-2014

Students involved with the club will raise funds for Shelter, Inc. this school year.

Barrington High School’s "IT" campaign has chosen Shelter, Inc. as its charity for the 2013-2014 school year. The club raises funds for a local charity or non-profit each year and is based on the concept of paying “it” forward.

Shelter, Inc. provides community based, emergency and long-term housing for children and adolescents who are abused, neglected, dependent, or in need of supervision.

Over the past four years, students have raised between $15,000 and $20,000 for the chosen charity. The 2012-2013 recipient was Home of the Sparrow.
