OKLAHOMA CITY, Dec. 11, 2023 - Francis Tuttle Technology Center students raised more than $2,000 to purchase gifts for families in need this holiday season.
Money Wars is an annual tradition for the Trade & Industrial Programs at Francis Tuttle. This includes programs like Cosmetology, Automotive Service, Carpentry, Criminal Justice, Culinary Arts and Service Careers.
Each program competes to raise the most money by asking people for spare change and donations. After a few weeks, each class tallies up their total.
Service Careers – Hospitality, led by Instructor Kari Bailey, won the competition for the second straight year. The programs combined to raise $2,379.48.
That money is then used to purchase gifts like clothing items and toys for Francis Tuttle students and their families who are in need this holiday season.
