DECA also sponsored a ten kilometer Spina Bifida Run-a-thon in memory of Bill McEvers, a 1983 graduate, who was a state member of DECA. The run had 400 runners and profited 32800. HOSA was an introduction to health science careers, such as a dentist, doctor, or a nurse.

Like DECA, HOSA offered OJT at local of- fices such as Marbach Animal Hospital, Bandera Hospital, Four Season Nursing Home, St. Lukes Hospital, and the Easter Seal Program.
