Innocence Project Fundraiser

For the 5th year in a row, LCHS Forensic Science students are selling t-shirts to benefit the Innocence Project of Texas. This is an organization that seeks to exonerate wrongfully convicted individuals and deliver justice to families of crime victims through the use of scientific truths and forensic science, including DNA testing (a concept studied by our own Forensics students). If you’re interested in learning more about the organization, visit www.innocencetexas.org. LCP Forensic Science students and supporters have raised over $2100 to date.

This year’s shirts will be a dark heathered forest green. You can choose short sleeve ($15) or long sleeve ($20) and they are the soft style. This year we are also offering a solid forest green crewneck sweatshirt for $25.

To place an order, fill out the Google Form below.

Our fundraiser runs through Monday, November 14. Email sring@lcisd.net for more information or any questions!
