Date for a Cure, an AHS tradition was put into jeopardy this year when the Science National Honor Society decided to have another fundraiser in place of the event this year. But Leadership decided to use the fundraiser because of its popularity.

“We thought it was a fun, well liked even so we decided to continue it as our winter community service,” president of Leadership senior Melissa Pratt said.

Last year SNHS made a total of $600 from the event. The admittance traditionally is free, but a $2 donation was preferred.

“I like watching all of the girls in relationships forced into paying more for boyfriends because we all know they’re going to buy them, so we bid them up for fun,” senior Lailumah Faisal said.

This year the auction will be held in the same format as in past years, with only junior and senior boys participating in the auction. Only junior and senior girls are allowed to bid on the boys.

Tradionally at Date for a Cure the boys will out walk out and the junior and senior girls will bid anywhere from a one dollar minimum, to as high as they would like to go. Last year, the highest bid was placed on Noah Fitzgeral for $100, the highest bid in the fundraiser’s history.

Many students find this a fun way to spend Atom Time while helping out a good cause.

In the past, all of the money raised went to the Leukemia Lymphoma Society. It is still unknown if it will still go to the Lymphoma Society, or another charity of Leadership’s choice.

“I’m really excited to be doing Date for a Cure because I want to help out the cause and be involved,” senior Lewis Folli said.

The auction will be held on Feb. 19 in the upstairs gym during Atom Time. All grades are invited to come.
