Help send Natalie to DECA Nationals!

Hello,

My name is Natalie Cooper and I am a member of the Nashua High School South DECA Chapter. Recently, I competed in the New Hampshire state competition and performed well enough to qualify to compete at the national level. I am looking to raise money to fund my trip to the International Career Development Conference (ICDC), the national competition located in Anaheim, California. My goal is $2,000, which would cover travel fees, hotel costs, transportation, and any other extra expenses I may encounter during the trip.

From September of 2023 to the present, I have dedicated countless hours writing, designing, and presenting the project that I have managed. For my event, Business Solutions, I wrote a 20-page paper regarding the rebranding of the school store, the ReignForest Café, located at Nashua South. I have been working at the store for the past two school years and now, as a senior, have earned the position of Marketing Manager. As a result of my hard work and commitment, I placed 2nd in my event and earned my place at ICDC.

DECA prepares students for careers in business, management, finance, and hospitality and allows them to grow both as students and as future entrepreneurs. The opportunity to go on this trip would further my business education as well as create lasting memories in the last semester of my high school career.

Thank you in advance for your generosity, as any contribution is greatly appreciated. Your support means the world to me.
