The afternoon students of the health assistant program at the Greater Johnstown Career and Technology Center were inspired to start a fundraiser to support the March of Dimes this spring.

The class sat down to brainstorm for ideas on how to raise money.

The career and technology center has actively participated in March of Dimes’ fundraisers for the past two years.

Last spring, 35 students and staff members comprised the Tech Trekkers and walked three miles in the March for Babies fundraiser.

This year, some students decided to sell candy bars, the culinary arts class was planning a bake sale and the school was selling bracelets.

So the health assistant class decided to sell chances on baskets.

Class members decided to make a new basket every two weeks so more people would have a chance to win.

Our first basket, a Valentine’s Day Basket, was made by Laura Nichols. Our second basket, The Snack Basket, made by Brittany Burkhart, Maria Santacroce and Takesha Crutcher.

Our class has ideas for at least four more baskets – a Girls Basket, Boys Basket, Surprise Basket and an Easter Basket.

When we started this fundraiser, we set a goal of $500. We have already raised more than $250 and are well on our way to reach our goal for the March of Dimes/March for Babies.
