Community Service

My first year in HOSA I pitched and organized a fundraiser to fund the Leukemia treatment of a 5 year old boy. The organization included finding sponsors, advertising the event, selling tickets, communicating with school and community officials, and using social media to raise donations. After this effort we were recognized at the State HOSA Conference for raising the most money for a community cause with a total of around $10,300.
