Dog Days of Fall
On November 11, 2017, DECA and the Emerging Leaders at Atlee High School held the first annual Dog Days of Fall Event for the Hanover Humane Society The four-hour event, which was held at Atlee High School, consisted of a number of components: a dog walk, corn hole tournament, various contests, etc. In addition, there were food and beverage vendors on site. Hanover Humane Society was present with a marketing tent. Lainey Mountjoy and Kiersten Fender, Atlee DECA members, were instrumental in the planning of the event and worked with members of the community to promote the event, organize the contests, secure donations, etc. According to Lynn Pulley-Paine with Hanover Humane Society, “There was much positive energy and enthusiasm at the event on that cold November morning, and Hanover Humane was very proud to be a part of things.” Ms. Mountjoy and Ms. Fender used this project as their DECA Event for Community Service which will be presented at the State Competition in March 2018. Approximately $2,400 was raised at this event which was donated to the Hanover Humane Society. Hanover Humane Society is a 501(c)3 non-profit entity which receives no local, state, or federal funding. The organization relies on fundraising activities such as this event and private donations to provide for its adoptable animals.
