Fundraising Goals

We have a goal for all FFA members who participate on an LDE team to raise $100 in fundraising money to help cover the cost of entry fees, travel, props, etc. Please review the list below. If you haven't met you goal you can always seek sponsorship for our FFA week T-shirts, sell Cristina's vouchers, or pecans!
