High Point student athletes team up to donate car

HIGH POINT, N.C. Some student-athletes in High Point teamed up for a special winning effort -- raising money to buy a used car for a single mother.The teens are members of the Fellowship of Christian Athletes at Southwest Guilford High School. The group raised 13-hundred dollars to buy a 1998 Fort Escort and presented it to Lisa Crosby yesterday in a church parking lot.
The group has been raising money since September through donations at school and church, and from individuals.
Senior Caleb Murphree coordinated the effort. He said the group got involved because they knew Crosby really needed a car. But fellow fundraiser Leigha Dennis said it was about more than meeting a need. She said, "It's a way for us to show God's love."
