Campaign Story
* Typical cost of capstone projects (including registrations, travel and supplies) is about $1200.
* I am trying to raise $600 as family and school will cover the rest.
Goals for My Fundraiser:
Supporting my capstone project
*** I plan to pursue the project though participation in TSA activities like competitions and community service. ***
The Technology Student Association (TSA) is a national Career and Technical Student Organization (CTSO) that helps students explore STEM through hands-on projects, competitions, and leadership opportunities.
What is ‘Community Fitness and Wellness Catalyst’
A comprehensive program that designs and implements physical fitness initiatives for disadvantaged neighborhoods, integrating health education and fitness coaching.
Why I am pursuing this project (My why)
- I am a ‘Reflective Thinker’ personality type person with strong ‘advocate’ business potential.
- I’m super passionate about fighting for equal opportunities and using film to make a difference. I’m also really good at being a fitness coach, with some cool knowledge on medical stuff and dog care. So, I’ve decided to put these together and create fitness programs for communities who need it most, hoping it can help level the playing field and even create some jobs through sports..
My plan of action: Competitions and Activities
Career Technical Student Organizations (CTSOs) to join:
DECA – A CTSO focused on marketing, management, and entrepreneurship, perfect for students interested in developing business and leadership skills in competitive environments.
FBLA – A CTSO that provides opportunities in business and competitive events, helping students hone skills in administration, leadership, and communication.
