Help Rio Rancho HOSA Students Compete in Nashville

Hello! We are part of a Career and Technical Student Organization (CTSO) at Rio Rancho High School in Rio Rancho, New Mexico, and we’re reaching out to ask for your support. This is our first year competing, and we had 6 students qualify for the International Leadership Conference (ILC) in Nashville in June. We are hoping to raise the necessary funds to make this experience happen for them.

Our CTSO, Health Occupations Students of America (HOSA), gives students the chance to build leadership skills, serve our community, explore careers, and compete in state and national events. These experiences are life-changing and help prepare us for the future—but they also come with costs that not every student can easily afford. We’re looking for people to help with expenses like registration fees, travel, hotel stays, meals, and supplies.

Here are some examples of what your donation can help cover:

$25 – Helps purchase graduation cords, recognition letters, or a team shirt

$50 – Covers meals for one student for a full day at Nationals

$125 – Pays for a student’s registration fee at a national competition

$250 – Covers one night in a hotel for four students

$500 – Makes a dent in airfare for one or more students traveling to nationals

We truly appreciate your support!
