Casey and the crew at the Burns High School FFA Chapter just blew the doors of their Water Challenge fundraiser!\u00a0 We got a letter a\u00a0 few minutes ago from the team.\u00a0 Here are some excerpts…<\/p>\n

“Our FFA Chapter wanted to take on a task that would impact the world.\u00a0 An officer, Alison K., … proceeded to research it and learn about all the different programs that would allow us to help build a well.\u00a0 After careful consideration she selected The Water Project.org as a worthy organization.<\/p>\n

After careful brainstorming…we came up with “Well Week” that would be focused entirely on raising money to fund the building of a well in India.\u00a0 The week before “Well Week” we started The Water Challenge.\u00a0 We showed the video of The Water Project to let people see how they could come up with money by drinking water.<\/p>\n

The “Well Week” and The Water Challenge went better than expected.\u00a0 We had over 200 people sign-up…we raised a total of $2,848.38!!<\/p>\n

The opportunity to help others puts a joy in your heart like nothing else can.\u00a0 Our whole school was able to be a part of something that will forever change people’s lives…We look forward to seeing the project completed.<\/p>\n
