St. Charles High School DECA’s community service project raises $405

Using marketing and project management skills, the St. Charles High School DECA chapter held a pet photo contest to raise money for the St. Charles Humane Society. Each photo entered into the contest was accompanied by a $5 donation. There were a total of 47 entries. In addition, people voted for the photos by giving donations during a session in the school’s common area. The students raised $405 for the humane society.

Several DECA representatives visited the St. Charles Humane Society on December 11 to present the check to Sarah Wood, the executive director, and to visit the pets. In addition, the pet photo entries were compiled into a calendar which now is being sold to raise additional money.
