DECA to host benefit for Children’s Hospital
The Russellville High School DECA Club will host a “Miracle Minute” on Jan. 11 benefiting Arkansas Children’s Hospital during the Colors Day basketball games.
Students are asking that every fan in attendance help support this cause. They will send around buckets for one minute during the half time of both the boys and girls games.
Please come to the game and give the “gift of hope” by making a donation into the buckets. All proceeds will benefit Arkansas Children’s Hospital and will help make it possible that no child is ever turned away due to their parents’ inability to pay.
