Light the Night

Thirty-eight Saluda Trail Ambassadors and Beta Club members, along with staff and parents, lit up the sky with their red and white balloons as they walked to support the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society last Thursday. A former Wildcat and a parent, who are both survivors, walked with them.  By helping out at home, in the community, and organizing a school bake sale, almost $350 was raised to donate.  The two groups met for dinner at CiCi's Pizza and walked over to Cherry Park for the Light The Night Walk.   It was a fun event for a worthy cause!
