Sierra Nevada Job Corps students held a fundraiser to help purchase school supplies for Fernley Intermediate School in northern Nevada. The money raised was given to Desert Wishes, a non-profit organization that helps with school supply drive. The students raised $413.70 of the $600 raised. This is the second year the center has helped fundraise to provide school supplies to needy children. The students are proud their hard work has helped others and looks forward to participating again next year!
An article about the fundraiser appeared on the front page of the September 13, 2011 edition of the Reno Gazette-Journal and also in the Fernley Leader.
