Hoover Helps, which provides backpack food programs and other initiatives to help food-insecure children at Hoover City Schools, held its annual fundraiser at the Sept. 9 football game between Hoover and Spain Park high schools.
Students and fans were invited to donate and outraise their rival school, with cheerleaders from Hoover’s middle and high schools volunteering throughout the game.
After raising $4,281 at last year’s inaugural fundraiser, this year’s goal was to raise $5,000. Hoover Helps exceeded that and raised $8,419. The Buccaneer fans won for the second year in a row, raising $4,975.09 compared to the Jaguars’ $3,434.66.
