This year, Brighton High School is continuing the time honored tradition of their Senior Survivor competition! Teams of seniors compete to raise the most money for a chosen charity. This year’s funds will go to the ‘I Will Right Now Foundation’ which assists members of the community experiencing financial difficulties due to medical and other issues and the ‘Fund a Life’ foundation; which aids Brighton Area Schools families and students going through life challenges. As of Monday, the participants have raised about $30,000 for charity. This number will only grow as the participants continue to work hard up to their graduation.
The seniors set up events throughout their last few weeks in school to allow the entire community to participate. For example, Team Purple (sponsored by Brighton Ford) has organized a large amphitheater concert and a car wash. They are currently the winning team! During the day, the teams continue to raise money through things like bake sales, coffee carts and selling apparel like masks, shirts and scrunchies. The program is so dedicated that their competitors are required to sleep over at the school for the last week. They have taken over the BHS media center with tents so their efforts towards the cause never stops.
If you are as inspired by this event as I am, you’re probably wondering how you can help. You absolutely can, even if you are not a student at Brighton High School.
