Girls ' Fellowship of Chris- tian Athletes sponsored a canned food drive, which helped to pro- vide for needy families. Sup- porting the Lutherwood Child Wel- fare Association, a residence for homeless children, were mem- bers of Boys ' FCA.

One other way the boys raised money was through cake raffles conducted at football and basketball games. Money raised by Teens Against Cancer, through dances, the sale of apples, candy, Santagrams and candygrams benefited cancer vic- tims.
