1st Annual EPHS Mr. Raider Pageant sponsored by EPHS DECA

It is an honor for East Paulding High School’s DECA Chapter to be able to take part in the wonderful organization of “Chad’s Bracket”. “Chad’s Bracket” is a nonprofit organization that produces an IV pole attachment for wagons. This design allows for family member or doctor’s staff to easily move a child through a hospital, without the hassle of moving a wagon and an IV pole at the same time. As a DECA Chapter, we have decided to raise enough money to donate five wagons, totaling $1,375.00. To raise this money, we decided to hold the 1st Annual Mr. Raider Pageant where all proceeds benefiting “Chad’s Bracket” and donated them to Egleston Children’s Hospital in honor of out EPHS student, Miss. Layne Pitts. With the outpouring of support we were able to raise $2750.00 enough for ten wagons!
