SALT LAKE CITY -- A group of West High students have firsthand experience with the tragedy of cancer, so they decided to do something about it.
West High has lost three teachers to the cancer in recent years, and students in an Adult Roles class wanted to find a way to help.
With some help from Zion's Bank, the students came up with a special "business" to raise money for cancer research. Their winning product: Hawaiian leis, in honor of one of the teachers who passed away.
Zion's Bank agreed to match every dollar the students raised, and Monday, the entrepreneurs donated $1,300 in profits to the Huntsman Cancer Foundation.
