Stacks Club To Develop Fundraising Opportunities.
Junior Achievement of Sarasota-Manatee announced a working partnership with the Stacks Entrepreneur Club of Booker High School. The goal of the collaboration is to help educate students, raise funds for the community and develop a scholarship opportunity in the name of Beverly Porter, a beloved, longtime guidance counselor with the school.
The business objective of the Stacks Entrepreneur Club is to raise money for unfunded needs of the school and to donate funds to local community organizations. Now with seven active members, the Stacks Entrepreneur Club will work with Junior Achievement Sarasota-Manatee for guidance on meeting two additional goals. The first is to raise money and product donations to provide backpacks and school supplies for students of Emma E. Booker Elementary who qualify for free breakfast and reduced lunch prices. The second goal is to raise money for a scholarship to be presented to a deserving graduate in the name of Beverly Porter, a longtime guidance counselor retiring at the end of this year.
“We are proud to provide the guidance and support for the members of the Stacks Entrepreneur Club of Booker High School,” said Maggie Haley, Executive Director of JA Sarasota- Manatee. “These students are learning the important values and skills that will prepare them for successful futures, all while they contribute financial and material assistance to children who need it most.”
