United Way Receives Donation from PHS Student Efforts

11/21//07 -- The cast and crew of a recent theater production at Plymouth High School of the Wizard of Oz were pleased to present a check for $1,089 to the United Way and designated for the Marshall County Red Cross. After each performance of the play, cast members simply asked the audience to place donations in collection boxes at the back of the auditorium.

This year's United Way Campaign Chair, Brad Serf, accepted the check on Wednesday morning. Serf said, “This is a great thing.”

Senior member Nancy Tyree was inspired to promote the fund raising project after seeing cast members of a performance in New York City ask for donations in a similar manner. Tyree is a board member of the Marshall County Red Cross and is committed to raise funds and awareness for the Red Cross.
