A group of seventh and eighth grade students at the Miller South School for the Visual and Performing Arts in Ohio came up with a creative and successful way to raise money for fellow students that are currently experiencing homelessness.
The children decided to design stylish and unique buttons that were to be sold to the school student body and staff members, with proceeds directly donated to Project RISE of the Akron Public Schools.
This group of students helped to raise over $2,000 for Project RISE, which “is committed to helping disadvantage youth improve their self-esteem and academic successes through after school and summer programs.” The money raised through this fundraiser helped to give school supplies for those students experiencing homelessness.
Students everywhere were very supportive of this good cause and claimed that they were happy to help those less fortunate. Sometimes it can be so simple to make a huge difference in someone's life, and this group of students did just that. For other ways make a difference or to shop for a cause, visit Uptown Liz.
