KATY RESIDENT RAISES MONEY TO HELP SCHOOLS,<br />
CLUBS AND ORGANIZATIONS<br />
For four years, Katy resident Dorothy Sanchez has worked to raise money in the<br />
hopes of helping local schools, clubs and organizations thrive. This year not only<br />
marked Sanchez’s fifteenth Scentsy fundraiser but her most successful one yet. In<br />
December, Sanchez presented Kelsey Peltier a check for $2,050.49 to go toward<br />
the <strong>The</strong>atre Department at Poly Ryon Middle School. Peltier, the school’s theatre<br />
teacher incorporated the Scentsy fundraiser into an assignment for her theatre<br />
students who were able to raise the money in just two weeks.<br />
Mrs. Sanchez is a Scentsy Director who believes in one of Scentsy’s values, “Give<br />
More Than You Take.” She donates part of her commissions to build up the community.<br />
In her four years of holding fundraisers, she has been able to donate more<br />
than $50,000.<br />
