State Charity Program

Each year, student leaders at our member schools raise thousands of dollars for a special State Charity that is chosen by their State Officers each April.

At the Spring Awards Program in May the overall donation to the outgoing State Charity is presented (see above) and the newly selected State Charity for the coming year is announced. Awards are also are presented to schools for various levels of support ($1000 Club, $2000 Club, $5000 Club, $10000 Club) and to the top three middle and high schools in the state.
