Capital Area Career Center Fundraiser Wrap-Up with Del’s

Springfield, IL – 10/19/2024 – Del’s Popcorn Shop is proud to celebrate another successful fundraiser, this time supporting the talented students at the Capital Area Career Center (CACC). With the help of our Virtual Popcorn Fundraising program, the CACC raised $63.98 through total sales of $127.96 — funds that will directly help students take part in valuable SkillsUSA competitions.

“The Capital Area Career Center is a great example of a worthy cause. They met all the criteria for us as a long-term community partner,” said Ellie Gross, Del’s national sales manager. “We love these teams, and we love these kids. We are so happy we can play a part in their story.”

Capital Area Career Center (CACC)

CACC is a vocational school based in Springfield, IL, where students gain hands-on training in a variety of technical and career-focused programs. One of the key opportunities offered to students is participation in SkillsUSA, a national organization that allows young professionals to compete in their chosen field against peers from across the state and the country.

To make these competitions more accessible, CACC regularly raises funds to help cover entry fees and travel costs — ensuring all students, regardless of background, have a chance to represent their school and community on larger stages.
