Davenport's DECA chapter has already started a series of fundraisers for the 2011-2012 season. We need capital to operate and fund our projects! We are looking for more cool ideas to raise cash. Have an idea? We want to hear it. Currently, two events are planned:

  • Script: Sell gift cards, and a percentage of the cost of each gift card goes towards your own DECA account. 
  • Bake Sales: A returning favorite: DECA members make amazing baked goods (without peanuts or other allergy-reaction ingredients) for you to buy!
