The Future Business Leaders of America (FBLA) officers at Cheney High School received $1,500 from Spokane Teachers Credit Union's Hundred Dollar Project for coordinating, raising money and awareness for a local charity.
According to a news release, the Cheney students coordinated a school-wide dodgeball tournament to raise $697 and awareness for the March of Dimes.
STCU's Hundred Dollar Project encourages teens to "start a movement, launch an innovation, brighten a life or change the world."
Earlier this year, 40 teams of teens from Washington and Idaho submitted project ideas, and judges narrowed those down to 20 finalist teams who received $100 each to help with the work.
All the finalists were invited to report back with a video showing how they used the $100.
Winners were selected based on a combination of judging and online voting.
Also receiving awards was the Odessa High School FBLA and a student group at Lewiston High School in Idaho.
