Kentwood DECA students are preparing for the sixth annual hypnotist show at the school where they hope to raise $4,000 for Ronald McDonald House of Seattle on Friday.

Last year the club raised just under $3,000 according to DECA member and Kentwood senior Jaclyn Rainey.

The show will include a miracle minute in which the audience members will be asked to donate any spare change they have.

“That typically brings in $200-$300 in that minute,” club President Erika Quan said.

Rainey added this year they have enlisted school administrators and teachers to be hypnotized along with students.

Additionally, Rainey said, audience members will be able to enter a drawing for a chance to be hypnotized.

Quan has been participating in DECA since her freshman year at Kentwood and helped convince Rainey to join as well.

“I just kind of jumped on board,” Quan said. “It’s a business club to help you to apply those leadership skills to the rest of life.”

The tradition of the hypnotist show is what Quan said is one of her favorite parts of helping to organize it.

“It’s really cool that we get to get involved with this event because it’s one of the signature events at Kentwood,” Rainey said.

Ronald McDonald House of Seattle provides housing and support for families of seriously ill children who are being treated in Seattle.

In 2012 the Seattle Ronald McDonald House served over 600 families. For more information about Ronald McDonald House visit www.rmhcseattle.org.

The show will be held at 7 p.m. in the performing arts center at Kentwood. Tickets are $10 at the door.
