Schools
Eagles and Wolverines Unite to Help Families Fight Cancer
Etowah and Woodstock High Schools joined forces through the "Bald, Bold, and Beautiful" fundraiser to collect over $8,000 to fight cancer
Etowah High School and Woodstock High School joined forces through the “Bald, Bold, and Beautiful” fundraiser to collect more than $8,000 for local families battling cancer.
The $8,053.15 was raised through a head-shaving contest between the administration and faculty of both schools, more than 400 T-shirt sales, corporate sponsorships and generous donations.
Etowah HS Cameron Shockey coordinated the fundraising for her Senior Project; Cherokee County School District high school seniors are required to undertake a capstone Senior Project to explore a potential area of study and career field, and through the project, they also have the opportunity to be creative and involve the community.

Half of the funds were donated to provide assistance to a designated Towne Lake family that is battling cancer; the remainder was split between Etowah HS and Woodstock HS to offer future financial assistance to families with the same need.
