Homewood High School faculty, staff and administrators rode stationary bicycles in classrooms and around common areas in the school for donations during their annual “Bike for Bagwell” fundraiser for Relay for Life/American Cancer Society.
The more students donated, the more they had has to pedal. This year, HHS students raised more than $7,500 during this one-day event inspired by former employee Linda Bagwell, who lost her battle with cancer.
“If you knew Linda Bagwell, you understand why we honor her with this upcoming special event,” Wellness Coordinator Nivada Spurlock said. “Linda had a constant smile, never had a bad day at work, was always ready to lend a helping hand and was loved by all who knew her. Four years ago when we started Bike for Bagwell, it was to honor Linda in her fight with cancer. A few months after our first event, Linda lost her battle. Her fight lives on during this special event for HCS,”
After school, HHS faculty and students walked together to Relay for Life.
