The Sussex Academy High School Cancer Club raised $530 during a bake sale to benefit Beebe Healthcare Tunnell Cancer Center.
Junior Karla Hernandez said the club selected Beebe as a beneficiary because the nonprofit healthcare system depends on community financial support.
“We arranged this event to offer love and support for cancer patients in our local community,” said Hernandez.
Club members made brownies, chocolate-covered strawberries and pretzels, Oreo tres-leche cake, pretzel salad, and s'mores and chocolate chip cookies to sell at the fundraiser.
Participating students were Ashley Alvarez, Rossy Herrera, Karla Hernandez, Jaynie Chilel-Ramos, Alondra Cano, Yuvia Juarez, Michelle Diaz and Kallie Hope.
