Youth Entrepreneur: Volunteers Organize Fundraising on June 21st, 2025

On June 21, 2025, volunteers joined Pearland Market Days to run a lively booth as part of

its promotion for their community engagement and nonprofit support. Volunteers arrived at

8:30 AM to set up their booth with vibrant posters highlighting our youth-led projects, and

promoting the Light and Salt Association—an organization dedicated to empowering individuals

with special needs. Throughout the day, the volunteers used creative attractions like twisting

balloons, face painting, and the sale of plants and crafts to draw visitors and encourage

donations, effectively building awareness and raising funds to support Light and Salt’s mission.

The event, which ran until 2:00 PM, was seamlessly coordinated by a dedicated team of

volunteers. Their engaging activities—balloon-twisting, face painting, and plant sales—fostered

genuine connection within the community, and left a lasting positive impact on both the

nonprofit and every one involved.
