5/15/13 - Howell High School students participated in a unique competition last month, raising thousands of dollars for charity in the process. Twelve Howell seniors competed in a challenge based on the television show âSurvivor.â The game has been going on every year since 2008, with competitors staying within the school walls 24 hours a day from Sunday, April 21st to Friday, April 26th. Contestants compete in various contests and are eliminated as the game progresses. Meanwhile, donations are collected and tee shirts sold for students to support their favorite competitors. This year more than 1,300 tee shirts were sold and a grand total of $18,000 was raised for charity. That total will be split between National Alliance for Mental Illness and a fund to assist Howell High alumnus Zac Cain, who has been diagnosed with cancer. This yearâs winner was Maddie May Kroll. Daily videos were posted online throughout the competition. They can be found by clicking the link below. (TD)
