Schools raise $1,899 for Salvation Army
The eight schools that are participating in the Metro Sports Report Classic raised $1,899.76 as Bell-Ringers for the Salvation Army's Red Kettle fundraising drive this month.
The Jefferson J-Hawks led all the schools with $471.20 in donations during their six-hour shift on Saturday, Nov. 16 at the Johnson Avenue Hy-Vee.
The Metro Sports Report Classic is a Pride Challenge event, as sanctioned by the Iowa High School Athletic Association. Each Pride Challenge event carries a community service component and the MSR Classic is working with the Salvation Army as it celebrates its 125th anniversary in Cedar Rapids.
All eight schools also will be donating presents for children associated with the Salvation Army to enjoy at the holidays.
