October Club Fundraising Events!

HOSA’s Breast Cancer Awareness Fundraiser

On October 8, SPB’s HOSA club held a fundraiser to raise awareness for breast cancer, as the issue is growing at a relatively quick rate. During this “Pink Out” day, HOSA sold donuts and educated students on issues with breast cancer and also gave out pins and bracelets which students proudly wore. Thanks to the support of students and teachers, HOSA generated over six hundred dollars in profit, all of which went to the National Breast Cancer Foundation. HOSA also has a very special thank you to those who donated extra to this worthy cause. 

Key Club’s Pediatric Trauma Program Fundraiser

Key Club kicked off the month of October with an ice cream fundraiser to help increase public understanding and gather funds to support the Pediatric Trauma Program, a program dedicated to promoting optimal care for injured children, adolescents, and their families. Thanks to the support and contributions of all our students and teachers, Key Club managed to raise a total of $850!

DECA Muscular Dystrophy Association Fundraiser

From October 6 to October 7, our high school DECA team hosted a shaved ice fundraiser in front of M1 to help secure funds for the Muscular Dystrophy Association (MDA). With the assistance of our students, DECA successfully raised more than 800 dollars. This program is the #1 voluntary health organization in the United States for people living with muscular dystrophy, ALS, and related neuromuscular diseases. This disease is extremely difficult to cure since they are complex conditions caused by genetic mutations, posing as a great challenge for doctors today.
