Friday Night, Nov. 9th, the Tatum Varsity Football Team launched a fight against Lung Cancer and smoking. Tatum HS was the proud participant of the 1st “Huddle Up for the Cure” Football Fundraiser. Students took pledges from sponsors who would like to support the cause – money was generated based on the number of huddles the Tatum HS Football team had during the game. Pledges per huddle were made as well as flat donations.
Rexanna’s Foundation for Fighting Lung Cancer is making a difference with your support. Please pass the word!
