Grant Cooper's Eagle Scout Project - Uniform Drive
Tax deductible
I am Grant Cooper, a rising Jesuit Dallas Freshman and a member of Boy Scout Troop 43. For my Eagle Scout Project, I am doing a uniform drive for Our Lady of Perpetual Help Catholic School. OLPH is located in Dallas (near Love Field) and 90% of the student body is near, or below, the poverty line. Many students cannot afford to purchase new uniforms, so they are often forced to wear hand-me-downs in poor condition. This situation can cause self-confidence issues for students and impact their ability to focus. I would like to help improve the situation by raising funds to purchase a new uniform shirt for each student at OLPH for the 2020-2021 school year.
With the funds donated, I will work with OLPH administration and their uniform partner, Academic Outfitters, to acquire the correct number, style, and sizes of shirts based on a survey sent to the parents of OLPH students. My fellow scouts in Troop 43 will help me collect the shirts and create a system for organizing them at OLPH for distribution.
Any contribution you can make would be greatly appreciated. I'm anticipating the cost per uniform shirt to be $20 each, so with my $4,000 goal, I should be able to purchase a new uniform shirt for each student at OLPH. The funds will go directly to OLPH and anything in excess of our goal will stay with OLPH for future uniform needs.
Thanks,
Grant Cooper
