RCS HOSA spent March and part of April selling shamrocks to raise money for the Muscular Dystrophy Association (MDA). Their goal was to raise $1,025, which was what they raised last year, and they beat that goal, raising $1,031! All the proceeds go towards MS research, summer camps, and services for MDA families. We are so #BulldogProud of these students for working hard to raise money for such a great cause!
