In October, Sandra and Sharon Newton (BHS Classes of '70 and '71) and their husbands moved together into their new home near Garland. This home was completely destroyed in the December 26 tornado.
Linda Horton ('70) and Brenda Pratt Baldwin ('70) quickly posted sizes of clothing needed. Linda opened a GoFundMe page to begin raising funds.
Bryan ('72) and Cheryl ('73) Peeler joined Charlotte Watson ('71) in creating a fund to receive donations for the family through Fannin Bank.
Lynne Dismang Sterling ('71) is working on a benefit concert, venue to be determined.
You are invited to help this family in their greatest hour of need by donating to either fund or to the clothing drive as follows.
