Project Showcase

Rishika, Siri, and Sejal initiated the rolling dreams project to raise funds for a wheelchair-accessible van for Christian Valecheff-Hedik, a student at SFHS living with Cerebral Palsy. They conducted three events - a music bingo, paint night, and pickleball tournament - and collected donations to achieve their goal. By managing events and communications committees, the project managers recieved donations from the community and generous sponsors. Raising $41460, the project successfully brought together the SFHS community to give back to our own community.
