JH "Crush" Valentine Fundraiser
|
Junior High National Honor Society used the Valentine's Day as a fundraising opportunity. The group decided to raise money for St. Jude's Hospital, with a goal of raising $250 - enough for one red blood cell transfusion.
On Valentines Day, a Junior High students were able to purchase a can of Crush soda for $1 each for their "crush". The recipient of the soda could then spend $1 to find out who purchased it. Students were also able to buy a can for themselves.
Proceeds earned from the sale of over 500 cans of soda provided $350 to St. Jude's.
Great job JNHS, you "crushed it"!
