Each year the Student Council chooses a service project. This year they were challenged to do something big. In September, the Student Council, along with their peers, partnered with the Horizon Health Foundation and took on a challenge to raise awareness and dollars for patients with cancer in Miner County.
The Tigers Step Up 2 Cancer Campaign ran the month of October. The goal was to raise $2,500 and Rivers Edge Bank, Member FDIC, agreed to match all gifts, dollar for dollar up to $2,500.
On Thursday, November 2 two checks were presented from the Howard High School Council and Rivers Edge Bank.
The students exceeded their goal and raised $3071.75. Rivers Edge Bank announced that they would go beyond their original pledge to match up to $2500 and match all the money raised dollar for dollar.
The Horizon Health Foundation will receive $6143 for their cancer care fund which they will use to make an impact for Horizon patients in Miner County.
Horizon Health Care Foundation and the students of Howard High School would like to thank all the community sponsors, all who purchased a TSU2C T-shirt, and all that gave an outright cash gift.
