My Project

Our students are eager to make a difference in their community, and we need your help to bring their vision to life! We are launching a student-led fundraiser where students will operate Ninja Slushie machines to sell refreshing slushies to faculty, staff, and the school community. The proceeds from this initiative will be donated to the United Way Foundation to support local families in need.

With your generous support, we aim to purchase Ninja Slushie machines and the necessary supplies to set up designated slushie stations throughout the school.

This hands-on project will allow students to develop essential business, marketing, and customer service skills while promoting social responsibility and community engagement.

Why This Matters:This project is more than just selling slushies—it’s about empowering students to take initiative, develop entrepreneurial skills, and experience the joy of giving back. By managing inventory, handling transactions, and marketing their fundraiser, students will gain valuable real-world experience. Additionally, they will learn the importance of charitable giving and the impact their efforts can have on those in need.

How Your Donation Helps:Your contribution will help us purchase:

Ninja Slushie machines

Every dollar you give supports not just a fundraising effort but an opportunity for students to grow as leaders and changemakers. Thank you for helping us make this vision a reality!

Together, we can make a difference—one slushie at a time!
