        <DescriptionProgramSrvcAccomTxt>In 2023, Warriors Foundation raised money to support Warriors for High Quality Schools' as well as CAMP's purchase of screen print supplies and materials and their creation of curriculum for fashion design courses, incorporating screen printing, entrepreneurship and promotion of art expression. At least one student and one adult learned how to apply logos to garments using screen prints and paint mixing techniques. The high school student was inspired by the process and arranged to have his own screen printing set up to create clothing from his home. He continues to create different color attire for various organizations, including Lions Den, Robert F. Smith STEAM Academy, and other organizations and events.</DescriptionProgramSrvcAccomTxt>
