Each Leadership class collaborates on a project to address a specific concern in our community. Last year’s class sponsored a toy drive for Hope House and collected over 100 toys. In addition to the toy drive, the class raised over $10,000 in cash donations that were used in much needed renovations to the Hope House facility.
