ULTIMATE DECA GIVEAWAY

We are excited to be hosting the ULTIMATE DECA GIVEAWAY for its second year, after the program's success at last year's State Conferences! The SUCCESS of the Giveaway greatly depends upon chapters' participation, and we are asking every member and chapter to donate items or baskets to be given away at their respective State Conference. Like last year, your chapter can earn extra tickets by donating items. Last year the GIVEAWAYS included iPods, iPads, cameras and more. Please consider donating.

We have a new edition to this year's GIVEAWAY and all students at States will be eligible to compete in our Minute to Win It activities interspersed throughout the GIVEAWAY!
