As part of the 2006 Homecoming festivities, a student participates in the Car Smash, which raised over $200 for the ENP.

The Eagles Nest Project (ENP) is a two-part mission:

  1. Raise the necessary $65,000 needed for construction materials (cash or in-kind donations)
  2. Construct the house.

Our goal is to have all of the money raised by the spring of 2007, and the construction of the home taking place the following fall.
