WE Day


Hello everyone out there!

Well, it's been a while since we've posted anything and we've done sooooo much over the past year.  I'll try to recap a few things we've done.

Last year, we raised over $800 by selling buttons that we donated to an organization called Free The Children.  That money went to clean water projects in Haiti and earned us some tickets to attend WE Day at the Forum in Inglewood.  It was a great day.  We got to hear people talk about all the amazing things they're doing to help people.  Demi Lavato and Selena Gomez were among the many people performing and speaking.  We hope to raise even more money money this year for various causes to earn our tickets to this year's WE Day.  Below is our group picture and the link for more info on WE Day.

At the end of the year we raised $2,500, which we gave to 3 charities that everybody voted on.  The 3 charities were:

1. Pug Nation LA - Pug Nation rescues pugs and finds loving and caring homes for them.  www.pugnationla.org

2. Super Lemonade Brothers - This charity was founded by one of our own, Sean Botansky, who lost a friend to cancer and while visiting him the hospital got the idea to make the lives of children in hospitals a little more enjoyable by donating new toys.  

3. NKLA (Best Friends Animal Society) - NKLA (No-Kill Los Angeles) is an initiative led by Best Friends Animal Society, bringing together passionate individuals, city shelters and an entire coalition of animal welfare organizations to end the killing of homeless pets in L.A. city shelters by the year 2017. nkla.org.

That was just a quick recap of last school year.  

Thanks to everyone who supported us and for making it a great year!

Cheers!
