Money raised for cancer research during BeardStrong fundraiser

Homewood High School recently held its annual BeardStrong fundraiser to raise money for cancer research. 

Assistant Principal Matt Kiser’s beard raised the most money among the 14 faculty and staff members who participated. The largest single donation came from senior Nashawan Mahyoub, who raised more than $70 through donations at a Bessemer grocery store owned by his family. This is the second year that Mahyoub has made the largest donation. 

BeardStrong 2014 resulted in more than $170 in donations for the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society in honor of former HHS administrator John Finley.
