Francis Howell High School DECA
Fundraises for Fellow Student

During the months of October and November Francis Howell High School DECA organized a school and community wide effort called Carving out Cystic Fibrosis. It was a school fundraiser to help raise money for Francis Howell student Dalton Prager who had been diagnosed at birth with Cystic Fibrosis. In just under two months the Francis Howell DECA chapter (organized and led by District 6 Vice President Jordan Stevener, FHHS officer Ryan O’Connell and DECA member Alicia Dickherber) raised $3,832 by selling paper pumpkin pledges for $1.00 (which were displayed in the upper C lobby of FHHS), donations, t-shirts, and creating a costume bowl in which all proceeds went directly to the fundraiser. The money was given directly to the Dalton Prager Trust Fund instead of a national foundation due to Dalton’s high insurance and medical bills.
