Soup Up the Arts helps and promotes local students

This is the 11th Annual Soup Up the Arts fundrais- ing event hosted by the Sebring High School Art Club. For ten dollars, guests choose a hand-made bowl and then choose soup from a variety of local restau- rants.

News-Sun photo by KATARA SIMMONS Despite an untimely power outage, the Sebring High School Art Club’s Soup Up the Arts fundraiser is well attended Thursday evening at the school in Sebring. The event helped raise money for Sydnee Crow and Pedro Palacios. Crow, a student at Lake Placid High School, is fighting leukemia. Palacios is a 10-year-old Lake Country Elementary School stu- dent who has been diagnosed with a brain tumor.
