Manzano students are already doing the work

Help remove the barriers around participation

Manzano DECA students are practicing role-plays, preparing presentations, building projects, serving the community, and getting ready to represent Manzano beyond campus. The Booster Club helps carry the costs, deadlines, travel details, meals, lodging, materials, and communication that can stand between preparation and participation.

The work behind the work

  • Transportation, lodging, meals, chaperones, and travel planning
  • Fundraising, sponsorships, volunteers, and family communication

The practical gap

Prepared students still need a way to get there

A student can be ready to compete and still face a cost, ride, meal, hotel room, deadline, or form that puts the opportunity out of reach. That is the gap the Booster Club is built to help close.
