MVCTC Students Raise Money and Awareness for Special Olympics

02/26/2020

Englewood, Ohio – Miami Valley Career Technology Center (MVCTC) Business Professionals of America (BPA) Chapter held a fundraiser and awareness campaign for the Dayton Area Special Olympics. 

Special Olympics is the world's largest sports organization for children and adults with intellectual disabilities and physical disabilities. MVCTC sold "Chains of Love," which were hung in the Student Activity Center. All of the Career Technical Student Organization's (CTSO) competed to see who could donate more chains. The winning CTSO was SkillsUSA Chapter 1 (Cosmetology and Dental Assisting), who donated over $400 themselves. FFA and BPA both donated over $200. As a whole, MVCTC donated $1034.

Dedicated to providing premier educational choices and advanced employment preparation for youth, adults, and organizations, MVCTC has proudly served the Miami Valley since 1971.
