We are offering marketing solutions to local businesses within our Gahanna Community! Sponsoring Gahanna DECA through one of our three packages will help your business reach over 2300 students, faculty, and staff. More information can be found on the attached brochures. Accommodations and changes can be made to each package to fit the needs of your business. For example, flyers and cards can be handed out in the Paw Print in addition to what each package covers. We are also accepting $40 - or name-your-price - “friends and family” donations. For more information, comment below, message this account, or email [email protected] ! All proceeds sponsor our 26 national qualifiers’ trip to Atlanta at the end of this month.

We are a group of high school students trying to make a difference! As members of Gahanna DECA, we are working on a year-long project that has identified a lack of community involvement among teens in Gahanna. We are promoting and marketing an upcoming website (launch date to be released soon) which will allow students and parents to easily get involved in community service opportunities. With the New Year comes new resolutions, and we are in need of help! Our goal is to get the majority of students at GLHS to volunteer at least one hour every month. In order to incentivize students, we would like to reward the volunteer(s) with the most hours with a $20-$50 gift card at the end of the year, and possibly even a monthly $10 GC reward. If you know any local businesses who would be interested in donating gift cards, please comment and let us know! We are excited about this project because it will increase community involvement as well as create buzz about local businesses. You can also reach us anytime at our email: [email protected]

Happy New Year!
