Dollars for Scholars Hearts Fund 2021

The annual Dollars for Scholars Hearts Fund has begun. The fundraising effort runs from February 1st – March 20th. The funds raised will make up scholarships for seniors at Deer Park High School, Home Link, and Deer Park Alternative School. 

Even in this topsy turvy time of COVID-19, the Deer Park community always rallies together to support, love, and encourage each other, no matter what may be standing in our way.

Donation jars designed by Deer Park High School seniors will be distributed throughout businesses in town. The community can also make donations online or by mail. Every donation, no matter how small or large, is truly appreciated. 

 With the disruption of learning either in-person or at home, along with the escalating cost of tuition, it is even more important to donate this year so we can help fund local high school scholarships in June.
