ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. (KRQE) – Manzano High School Football was looking for a win on the field on Saturday, but the school was also using the game as an opportunity to fundraise.
The school’s cheer and football team provided lemonade to spectators, and all proceeds went to “Alex’s Lemonade Stand Foundation” to support cancer research.
It’s the third year the school has held the event and had a goal of raising $2,000.
“We’ve got all the cheerleaders, all the football players, and the band in support of the Gold Game. We have the Albuquerque Police Department in support of the Gold Game,” said Myra Robinson with Emily’s Pink Crusaders.
Manzano Football was able to get a win on the field, beating Hope Christian 40 to 14.
