BCI Students Learn to Pay It Forward

BCI Teacher Lori Ervin was looking for a meaningful way for the students in her Business Management course to get involved with a few charities.  The Wish Closet was selected by Andrew Opper, Humza Quershi, Dylan Teeple, Kristen Ziechange, Zach Morrison, Mitch McIssac, Jillian Hunt, Justin Robinson and Levi Myers as their charity to support.  The students arranged a Zumba event and gathered gently used clothing for the Wish Closet.




Several dozen bags full of clothing were gathered by the Zumba team and donated to the Wish Closet.



The student team also very kindly donated a $25 Tim Horton's gift card to Betty Finley, the Creator of the Wish Closet, for her volunteer team to enjoy a coffee for all of their hard work and dedication. 


Thank you Andrew, Humza, Kristen, Levi, Zach, Mitch, Jillian and Justin for Paying It Forward in your community and thank you Lori for allowing your students this opportunity to learn about giving. In the words of Margaret Meade:

"Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed people can change the world.  Indeed, it is the only thing that ever has."
