DECA Members Raise $7,000 Through the MDA Muscle Corp Program

Sep 1, 2020

DECA members raised over $7,000 for the Muscular Dystrophy Association (MDA) this summer through the pilot MDA Muscle Corp Program. DECA members connected with the MDA community to think ethically and innovatively to solve problems with the skills they acquired. As a result, students learned to embrace servant leadership and social change as professional and personal philosophies. They also participated in a digital causeraising campaign.

Twenty-one DECA members successfully completed the pilot program and earned 40 hours of community service. Congratulations to:
