In a week full of various activities and challenges, students at Brighton High School raised what has been reported to be in excess of $80,000.
The funds raised by the students benefit three local nonprofits.
• The Carl Nagy Foundation was established after BHS student Carl Nagy died by suicide. Its mission is to help bring emotional awareness to youth through education on how to handle anxiety, depressive episodes, hopelessness and helplessness.

• “We Walk the Line,” established after BHS grad Connor Shea died by suicide, supports veterans, first responders, and their families by supporting Blue Star service dogs and Michigan outdoor youth camps. The organization uses the funds it raises to train and place service dogs, and provides three annual scholarships that pay for the children of veterans and first responders to attend summer camp.
