The Burleson Mayor's Youth Council had an awesome opportunity to participate in the Burleson Opportunity's Fund Burleson's Rising Stars Event to raise money for the scholarships they give out to seniors. The BOF provides money for seniors in high school that can't afford college, but still want a higher education. The MYC helped stuff bags and generate publicity in the month leading up. That night, the Youth Council helped with the raffle drawings for the VIP members. In all, the event raised a little over $7000 for the Fund! It was a great opportunity and now more kids get the chance to go to college!!
What does your city do to motivate kids to go to college?
Peace.Love.Caitlan.

That is an amazing project Caitlin! I know that as a Senior in high school myself, the price tag on higher education can be a set back for a lot of students. It's great to hear that you were able to raise quite a lot of money for this important cause. Education is truly essential.
