Saline County Career Center DECA received a donation from Wood & Huston Bank on March 29, 2022.

The donation of $2,000 will help support, sustain chapter funding this year, and help to send students who qualified for international competition in April.

Each year SCCC DECA works with local initiatives and charities to develop marketing, publicity and advertising plans or general community giving/awareness projects. This year Wood & Huston worked with a group, Lizvet Menendez and Jessica Parada, on their “Show Mercy” project. During the months of November and December, Wood & Huston hosted an Angel tree that helped the project collect enough toys to be given to every patient at Children’s Mercy Hospital.

The group was able to exceed their goal with the help of Wood & Huston, Chemistry Coffee, The Dog Den, and Montague’s restaurant during this time. Menendez and Parada succeeded at state competition by earning third place and will be a part of the students representing the group of five that competes in Atlanta during their international conference on April 22-27.

SCCC DECA provides a sponsorship level, which includes advertising opportunities through DECA for each business that donates to the chapter. Dough4DECA is done by chapter members as a source of funding for ICDC.
