When students and teachers work together to raise money for charity, amazing things can happen.
In Oregon, eight schools have united to create Scot’s Angel Club, a club that raises money for children in medical crisis. The schools created Community 101, a philanthropy project. According to them:
“Leadership students are the engine that makes the Scot’s Angel Club at David Douglas go. Part of Community 101 is teaching students the value of giving. Students spend hundreds of hours on fundraising and creating special projects for the Scot’s Angels club.”
The club has raised over $75,000 over the past 12 years. 100 percent of their proceeds go directly to the families involved. Students also volunteer in other ways, such as helping at food banks and cleaning up at the beach.
