Hawk Hour: Drama & Relay for Life
-
Horizon Academy has many clubs (such as Future Business Leaders of America, Future Farmers of America, Chess Club, Drama Club, Fellowship of Christian Athletes etc...). As a teacher, I sponsor three clubs: Chess Club (Wed.,2:30pm), Fellowship of Christian Athletes (Fri., 2:30pm), and Relay for Life (American Cancer Society) (Wed., 2:30pm).
The goal of RELAY FOR LIFE is to:
1) Learn more about cancer and its impact. 2) Create ways to inform the public about cancer and the efforts of groups like the American Cancer Society to defeat cancer.
3) Raise funds for the American Cancer Society through the Strides Against Breast Cancer in the Fall, and Relay for Life Walk in the Spring.
Our website for donations is horizonhawksfightcancer.com.
In the past 6 years our Horizon Relay for Life team has raised over $8000 to fight cancer. We have had various incentives for the students to reach their fundraising goal for that year:
such as: painting Mr.Q's car purple or shaving his head.Donations can be made at Horizonhawksfightcancer.com
If you wish to join our Club, see Mr. Quinones for a Parent Consent Form
and to join our Canvas page.Relay for Life was begun by Dr. Gordon Klatt - in 1985 when he walked a track for 24 hours to raise money for his cancer patients. After that first walk-a-thon, teams have signed up to do likewise each year in the U.S. and around the world raising billions of dollars for cancer research and services to cancer patients. Dr. Klatt passed away in 2014 - just before the 30th "birthday" of the movement he started: A movement created to help cancer patients enjoy more "birthdays" each year.
