Students of Cardinal Hayes High School recently participated in Optimum Community’s 7th Annual Charity Champions Program. The program promotes volunteerism and encourages local high schools to raise funds for a charity of their choice. The school was presented with $1,000, which will be donated to Holiday Magic, the students’ charity of choice. The school also received $500 for the furtherance of their charitable activities which they also donated to Holiday Magic.
