Hershey High School’s Key Club hosted their 10th annual Walk For Clean Water on April 13th from 12 to 3 p.m.

The event was held from 12-1:30 at Hershey High School. The club raised $27,000, almost $2,000 more than last year’s total of $25,140.85.

Leaders Conner Moodie, Alexis Dhawan, Abby Hand, Kelsey Cartee, and Hailey Groff led the event on Sunday by assigning volunteers tasks like “cheerleading”, set up, and clean up. Co-advisor Mrs. Blosky chaperoned the event. The event went very smoothly, and ended up finishing an hour and a half earlier than they expected.
