The Hillcrest High School DECA Chapter (Distributive Education Clubs of America) recently completed their annual community service project for the Muscular Dystrophy Association (MDA). DECA students raised over $550 selling “paper MDA shamrocks” to staff and students, as well as family members and employers. The money raised went to support research, services, and summer camp activities for those afflicted with muscular dystrophy-related issues.
Senior DECA student Kyle Kos states of his experience, “When we first started this project we had a goal. As we continued to raise awareness, more and more people donated. It showed that there is awareness at Hillcrest. We all are there for those who need help. Whatever the cost, it has been a pleasure to have been part of this extraordinary experience.”
The Hillcrest High School DECA Club is proud to have participated in such a worthy cause.
