West Redding’s Generosity Extends to Haiti
Kudos to the Foothill High School students that were profiled in the Record Searchlight for raising cash for earthquake-ravaged Haiti (North State students, others raise money for Haitan quake victims, RSS, January 26, 2010). Shasta High students contributed big-time as well.
Randall Yelverton, agent with GMAC/Real Estate Professionals, shared the following story which I found quite inspirational on more than one level:
Maddie Ross, Shasta High Sophomore (daughter of Jerry and Dori Ross), pounced on the obvious need for relief and called on the student body for action. Shasta High students responded by raising approximately $3,000 in less than two weeks - how about that?
About $2,000 came from the efforts from a handfull of students, including Lizzy Lupercio, Sophomore (daughter of Rosa and Dr. Raphael Lupercio), and Brianna O’Sullivan, who sold ”Hope For Haiti” bracelets on a donation basis. A giant thanks to Lizzy and Brianna, Holiday Market, and the generous folks on the west side of town!
Amazingly, the girls handling the desk at Holiday Market were treated to some very interesting “extracaricular” activity! During their time-in, a patron attempted to extricate a cart-load of groceries, grand theft-style. Unfortunately for the perpetrator, he was quickly slammed to the concrete by the gentleman who operates the tri-tip cart at the south entrance of the store – within scant inches of the girls’ table!
Lizzy was quoted as follows: “the guy, like, ran out of the store with a cart, and the big guy cooking the meat, like, tackled him – RIGHT IN FRONT OF US!….. It was, like, wild!”…..
So cool to be a 16 year-old sophomore, but soooo cooler yet to get a quote at buzzaboutredding.com.
