PURE Youth Bentonville

Bentonville, AR

The PURE Youth Bentonville, AR chapter started in January of 2021. We originally started as a group of only 6 members, but as we started to spread PURE’s name in our community, our chapter has now recruited almost 25 members. Our team is hardworking, passionate, involved in our community, and is always looking for new, creative ways to fundraise. We have exceeded our fundraising goal for the past 3 projects, and we hope to keep doing so in the future!
