Young Angels Pacific Palisades drilled down on fundraising last Saturday with a yard sale to support their sister Team at Animo Watts Charter High School. Profit centers included Peep-topped cupcakes, lemonade and the big sell-out-- mini-Easter baskets manufactured by the Watts team.

The sale was part of a year-long drive Young Angels undertook with the Animo Watts Charter High School Team to raise $13,000 for their first senior prom. Budget at the Watts school was tight for Prom, so YA took a student leadership team through a year-long fundraising boot camp. As Animo Watts Charter High School’s Principal, Sue Jean Foulkes said, “Every time I walked down the hall, I tripped over students who were engaging in business. First it was the student store, then it was movie night, and raffles, then they made me get rid of the vending machines so they could sell beverages. It’s great! The students wanted a beach prom, and now they’re set to have one at the Annenberg Beach House”.
