Beulah High School Teams and Cheerleaders Make a Difference
Beulah High School basketball teams and cheerleaders donated $2,000.25 to the American Cancer Society. The proceeds raised for the organization resulted from Beulah’s 2nd Annual Conquer Cancer Challenge Basketball Tournament conducted last December. The tournament featured varsity teams from Beulah, Clay County, Lafayette, Dade County, Loachapoka, and Beauregard. Coaches and students raised funds to help Conquer Cancer by soliciting sponsorships, selling basketball cut-outs, half-court shootouts during halftime, ticket raffles for prizes, and through the collection of admission proceeds. The efforts concentrated on developing community awareness and emphasizing the importance of helping others. Stephanie Foehlich, the American Cancer Society representative, said funds raised from the tournament would be dedicated to cancer research on behalf of the Coaches vs. Cancer program efforts initiated by Auburn University Men’s Head Basketball Coach Tony Barbee. Some of the proceeds will also go toward research for acute myelogenous leukemia. Beulah High School has a 9th grade student that has been recently diagnosed with this type of leukemia and is undergoing treatment in Birmingham at this time. Plans have already been made for Beulah to host the third annual Conquer Cancer Challenge in December of 2012.
