A series of fun community events, helping to raise funds for the Lassen County Office of Education’s annual Sober Graduation program, kicks off this morning at 10:00 when Superintendent of Schools Patty Gunderson will be “On the Lift for Sober Grad” with a goal of raising $5,000 dollars.
Suspended high in the air on a hydraulic lift, in today’s less than ideal weather conditions, Gunderson will be allowed to come down when the goal is reached.
Everyone is encouraged to come by Wheels West, on Main Street, across from the high school, with monetary donations, gift cards, or even gift baskets with an assigned value and all of this will go towards the $5,000 goal.
Donations and contributions by businesses, organization or individuals will be recognized by the LCOE on social media.
