During Breast Cancer Awareness Month, the high school volleyball and football teams raised money for the Pana Community Hospital's Breast Cancer Services Department. Donations were taken at the door to the Pana vs. Greenville volleyball match and at the gate for the Pana vs. North Mac football game. T-shirts were sold for each of the games and the proceeds went directly to the donations for PCH. Pictured with members from the Pana Community Hospital are senior members of the volleyball and football teams. The teams raised $1,205.00 with the help of the community.
