Highland Car park High School’s annual Charity Drive is now in full swing, as students already have chock-a-block several fund-raising events into the first week of the month-long strain.
Friday night, a silent auction was held with a Derrick Rose autographed announcement leading the prize pool. Other hot items included a guitar, postpositive major lot parking spots, locker locations for next school year and tickets to the MTV music awards or the Dr. Oz boob tube show.
An art bazaar, buffalo wings eat-a-thon contest and 24-hour leniency run also were held Friday night to benefit this year’s Charity Intend recipient, the Leukemia Research Foundation.
The top wing eater was postpositive major Joey Smith, who beat out junior Parker Rijos, sophomore Jack Lieber and freshman Charlie Mintz.
Those HPHS students who didn’t ingest miscellany amounts of wings teamed up to run 243 miles on the indoor ferret out during the annual 24-hour run that spanned Friday to Saturday morning.
