The Basha-Perry-Casteel AFJROTC program is finishing up their most successful fundraiser ever. The students set out to make this fundraiser the best one yet by asking for tax credit donations, contacting family and friends, and using their main source of funding, Snap-Raise. Snap-Raise is a website similar to popular GoFundMe where people can easily donate money online.

The students had a goal for the fundraiser set at around $17 thousand, but went above and beyond and raised over $31 thousand which is the most raised by any JROTC unit in the state. The amazing thing is, this was all done in just 30 days.

The program is made up of over 140 cadets who display selflessness, a heart of service, and patriotism. The money raised from the fundraising will go towards many things such as uniforms. marksmanship equipment, items to improve cadet activities and organization, fun team-building events, field trips and physical training equipment.
