Every campaign here was claimed, planned, and reported by a young person.
More will be added as ACO Youth gathers them. If your club ran one, we would like to write it up.
$1 pumpkins, garden succulents, and $800 of shoes for Senegal.
Students at Valley Christian High School founded the Beyond Borders Club and, in cooperation with ACO, claimed a campaign of their own: Help Shoeless Kids — shoes for children in Senegal who walk barefoot on ground that can reach 100°F, where a small cut can become a deadly infection.
Not solo — a club. The students took inventory of what they had: succulents growing free in their own and their friends' gardens, mini pumpkins for about a dollar apiece, and a farmers' market where the community gathers every week.
Handcraft succulent planters: roughly $1 of cost, priced at $10–20 — the difference created by their own hands and their story. Book the booth. Make the poster: not "please donate," but why shoes matter — infections, searing ground, no nearby medical care.
A real booth in a real parking lot, talking to strangers who could simply walk past — and many stopped. Every planter sold was a conversation: about Senegal, about bare feet, about what $15 could do.
Over $800 raised — then turned into something you can hold: new shoes, tags still on, packed into suitcases and carried to Senegal by the ACO team. Every supporter can see exactly what their trust built.
