There wasn’t only the annual rivalry game brewing between Hahnville and Destrehan high schools last Friday, there was also the Pink Links challenge between the two schools.
HHS won it with 15,559 links sold over DHS’ 9,819 links. Together, they raised an impressive $25,378 in donations for the American Cancer Society.
The fund raiser is part of the Health Science Team members by the St. Charles Parish Satellite Center, which has been working on a Breast Cancer Awareness Project. The project goal is to raise awareness and funds for breast cancer research.
The team sold pink paper links for $1 each and generated the challenge between the East and West bank high schools. They approached businesses owners for donations, as well as got all the school system schools involved with the competition. HHS was named the winner at the rivalry game last Friday.
