Centennial FFA Alumni Fundraising Goals
The Centennial FFA Chapter consists of young adults from freshmen to seniors at Centennial High School. The youth in our organization are from all walks of life, from the city of Las Cruces to the rural areas of Dona Ana County. Since the Centennial FFA chapter was founded in 2012, our chapter has evolved into a great organization that is dedicated to making a positive difference in the lives of students by developing their potential for premier leadership, personal growth and career success through agricultural education.
Our primary goal for fundraising is to offset the costs of scholarships, conventions, judging trips, leadership camps, and anything else our members need to be successful! By signing up for this event you will be helping Centennial Members have the resources they need for this year. We also accept donations of any amount. It is through the generous contributions of individuals and companies, such as yours, that we are able to provide great learning opportunities to the youth involved in our program. The positive experiences they gain will stay with them for a lifetime.
