LUBBOCK, Texas -

Students at Evans Middle School went to great lengths Wednesday in order to raise money and awareness for a worthy cause.

Sixth, 7th and 8th grade Evans Eagles participated in the "Bald Eagle Challenge" to benefit the American Cancer Society.

More than $12,000 was raised. The winners of each individual challenge kept their hair while the others got a free summer haircut.

Several of the girls donated their hair for use in wigs provided through the American Cancer Society.
