This year's Make a Difference Fair was on March 5th, 2015 from 4:30 to 6:00. We are SO EXCITED to announce that this year's fair saw nearly 1000 visitors! The students did a great job getting the word out, educating the public, and persuading people to make donations to their respective organizations. They were able to raise over $12,000 in an hour and a half! WAY TO GO!!!
