Project 16

My name is Faith Becker. I am a sophomore student at Francis Howell High School and the founder of Project 16.

Project 16 started as an idea in which I decided I wanted to help "give back". With the help and support of my family and friends, we are raising scholarship funds to give to the graduating class of 2015 of the Ferguson-Florissant school district.

In order to attain our goal, we will be hosting a dance in which we will be charging admissions, having silent auctions, and more fundraising opportunities in order to raise the money. We will also have live music, photographers, and food. 

In order for us to have the dance and make it a success, we need to raise money to pay for the
decor and entertainment. We are also in need of items for the silent auction. And most importantly, we need funding for the actual scholarship. That is what the dance and all fundraising until then is for. Our goal is to reach a minimum of six thousand dollars in order to evenly distribute the to student(s) chosen from each high school.

Selected by a committee in the district, scholarship checks will be mailed to the college the student will attend. By achieving all of this, we can send a message of hope and enrich the lives of others.

Not only are schools teaching the present young people of the world, but with the continuation of their education, these future leaders of tomorrow will not only just have the ability to change their lives, but the lives around them as well. Just as you do with a ladder with rungs, these students can keep climbing in their education with the sky as the limit.

Please help donate cash donations via Gofundme.com,
if you are a business owner that is willing to help donate your time or your products for the Silent Auctions please contact me directly at
