Vestavia Students Raise More Than $50K For Special Needs Kids

VESTAVIA HILLS, AL — Vestavia Hills High School students presented a hefty check to a Birmingham non-profit this week, having raised more than $50,000 for Ady's Army, an organization that helps families of children with autism and other special needs.

The school’s SGA officers MOnday presented a check for $56,575 to the founders of Ady’s Army during an assembly celebrating the end of the VHHS fall charity drive. Hundreds of VHHS students participated in fundraising this fall through activities like BBQ the Bucs, the annual faculty-student basketball game and numerous homecoming week activities.

Ady's Army is currently working to build Ady’s Haven, a life center located in Sterrett, Alabama, designed for families of children and adults with autism.
