Business Professionals of America (BPA) is a club that participates in competitions each year. There are multiple categories within the club, including accounting, business law, computer programming, graphic design, speech and video production. Each person has an opportunity to compete in districts and, if they place high enough, can continue to states and nationals. One of the two video production teams, composed of seniors Sabrina Bonadio, Zoe Brown, Molly Kucharski and Joelle Wittig, created a video about Shriners Healthcare for Children, following the prompt of choosing an organization to convince people to donate to. They earned first place in the state level competition.

“It was an amazing experience to be able to return the support from the organization that helped my family and my brother immensely,” Brown said. “Without Shriners, we would never be able to afford the prosthetic that allows my brother to play the sports that he’s so talented in.”
