DECA students set, share goals for 2018 Cool to Care campaign


DAVISON — Davison High School marketing students organizing this year’s Cool to Care campaign have set a lofty— but achievable — goal and are planning to collect 10 percent more than last year’s record-breaking haul of 46,000 cans.

“At the high school, that equals about 5,700 cans which means about 3 1/2 cans per student,” Ellie Timmons, Executive Vice President of the school’s DECA chapter, told Board of Education members.

Joining Timmons in organizing this year’s Cool to Care campaign are Lorenzo Luna, DECA President; Jennifer Bloch, Vice President of Competition; and Blake Congdon, Vice President of Operations.

DECA is a student marketing group.

In addition to encouraging students and the com- munity to donate canned goods, non-perishable items and/or money to the Cool to Care program as in past years, Bloch, Congdon, Luna and Timmons have come up with some new ideas to generate support.

In addition to cans, students will also now collect empty pop cans, with every 10 cans equaling two canned goods. Every $1 raised will also equal two canned good items.

Students will also hold a canned food drop off event at VG’s sometime during the last week of November.

The Cool to Care campaign is now underway and ends on Dec. 4. All items will be delivered to Outreach East on Dec. 5. — Courtesy of Davison Community Schools
