2018-2019 DECA Projects Highlights
Sports and Entertainment Operations and Research
This year Mikayla Jones and Nikita Menon, are competing in SEOR (Sports and Entertainment Operations and Research). We are working with MTFC Quest Soccer, a nonprofit organization that gives kids ages 4-18 the opportunity to play the game of soccer regardless of cost. Mikayla and I are setting up a scholarship fund that helps minimize cost of travel, so more kids can participate. Throughout the project, we have created a multitude of events that raise money for the team, as well as expand our knowledge about what’s going on in our community.
Integrated Marketing Campaign Event
Our group, consisting of Savannah Dew, Leah Kitchen, and Hannah Sutt, is competing in the Integrated Marketing Campaign - Event category this year. We are partnering with the local charity Children Are People to hold a dodgeball tournament at Station Camp High School. The tournament is being held to bring awareness and raise funds for Children Are People. This organization is dedicated to giving underprivileged kids, grades Pre-K through twelve, a chance at success.Independent Business Plan
Abbie Rollins & Brooklyn Rippy
We are going to start a nonprofit organization called Guard Up. The goal of this organization is to stop or prevent a potential rape case. We will send volunteers to countries with the highest rape rates to teach women and children how to defend themselves in case a situation like this ever occurs. Guard Up hopes that by teaching women and children these different tactics, rape rates will gradually go down
New Stampede Stop Shop Winter Merchandise
The Stop Shop is constantly in the process of creating new items to be sold to our students! If you have ideas for new designs or merchandise, write them down or sketch out your design and turn it in at the Stop Shop! We love to see our students' creative ideas! Maybe your design will be sold next!
