Students host fundraiser this Saturday

HANCOCK, MI – Area high school students participating in this year’s Finlandia University Upward Bound summer residential program will conduct a car wash and hot dog sale at Wal-Mart, Houghton, on Saturday, June 20, from 10:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m.

The car wash will help fund a one-week bus trip to Cleveland, Ohio, at the conclusion of this year’s “mock college experience.” The trip itinerary includes tours of Notre Dame and John Carroll Universities, and visits to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, the Cleveland Zoo and Rainforest, and the Museum of Natural History.

The annual Finlandia University Upward Bound summer residential program gives area high school students the opportunity to experience the daily routines of college freshmen. It takes place this year from June 17 to July 16.
