POST OF THE WEEK: ❤️ Weddington Students Make Special Delivery to BCSF
 
As A.C. Reynolds football fans filed into R.L. Dalton Stadium to see the Rockets host Asheville High, they noticed two students standing in the center of the field, who weren’t from either school. Pablo Bermudez and Matthew Balaban left Weddington High School, east of Charlotte, after their last class Friday and traveled to Reynolds to make a special delivery - a check for $6,500 made out to the Buncombe County Schools Foundation (BCSF).
 
The teens raised the money by starting their own nonprofit organization called the Stride Forward Foundation. They planned and produced the Carolina Comeback 5k, a running event in Charlotte Aug. 30.
