The Henry County High School Beta Club recently raised $250 for Relay For Life, according to teacher Holli Embry Hunt. The fundraiser developed from a challenge from Carroll County High School to a “penny war” for the cause, and Henry County came out on top. Beta Club, formed to do community service, will also have a fundraising basketball tournament April 23, from which the proceeds will benefit the student resource center. Community members interested in supporting the Beta Club basketball tournament can contact Hunt by calling the Henry County High School.
