Senior National Honor Society member Ming May Hu helped organized this year’s Brain Bowl, which was held on Friday, March 26, and won by the faculty team. The Brain Bowl was a fundraiser for the American Cancer Society. Advocate staff reporter Bridget Kinross interviewed Hu about the accomplishments of this fundraiser.

Bridget Kinross: What were your goals for this fundraiser?

Ming-May Hu: Our main goal for this fundraiser was to raise as much as we could for the American Cancer Society to fund brain cancer research. The Brain Bowl is a great way to raise awareness, donate to others, and have fun at the same time

BK: Have you met or these goals?

MMH: Yes, this year we raised over $1,000 which is more than we have in the past few years. We are extremely happy to get to contribute to fight against cancer.

BK: What was the hardest part of helping run this fundraiser?

MMH: The hardest part of organizing this was probably creating the video. There was a lot of planning that went into it. We spent many hours after school filming and editing.

BK: What was the participation level for this fundraiser?

MMH: A lot of students and faculty took the test to try and get on the teams. Also, many students donated to the cause and it was great to see how many people wanted to contribute and support their teams.

BK: Overall, did you like the way the Brain Bowl turned out?

MM: The turnout was great. I think everyone had a fun time and the audience was very engaged during the event.
