THE SWEET IMPACT

Sweet and Social is thrilled to announce our first fundraising half marathon in support of Coginchaug Regional High School's DECA Chapter!

Coginchaug DECA holds a special place in my heart, as it's where my passion for business, entrepreneurship, and marketing first started. During my senior year at Coginchaug, I hesitantly signed up for a year-long business class and decided to give sports marketing a try. Little did I know, this decision would lead me to get involved with DECA and spark the beginning of my career path in marketing. DECA provided me with leadership skills, a solution-oriented mindset, and gave me the confidence to trust my instincts.

When I signed up for my first half-marathon, I knew it would be a great opportunity to connect my passion for running and my business while also making an impact. There was no question that Coginchaug DECA was the right organization. By donating, you're helping to inspire future business leaders and entrepreneurs, providing them with the resources to further pursue their passion for business. Every year, the students have the opportunity to attend a conference that brings together thousands of like-minded business students. The students get to compete and present their solutions to real-life business scenarios while networking, and attending speaker sessions. Please consider joining me on my journey of running to support Coginchaug DECA!

DECA's mission is, to “prepare emerging leaders and entrepreneurs for careers in marketing, finance, hospitality, and management in high schools and colleges around the globe.” Learn more about DECA here.
