One thousand Panthers came together on Thursday, February 15 for the 16th annual Walk for Life cancer benefit. The event kicked off with a lunchtime carnival featuring 100 food booths run by PVPHS clubs. Students and staff then moved to the football stadium where we heard moving tributes and watched a special dance performance. $20,000 checks were presented to each of our beneficiaries: City of Hope and Cancer Support Community. With a cry of "HOPE" the students released clouds of purple powder into the sky and then headed off on their walk to Highridge Park.
