Hardaway High School’s FBLA Chapter teamed up with another local school for a heartfelt community project. Chester Jackson is a citizen of Columbus who assembles bikes at his auto shop; when he’s not working on automobiles, he gives them to children in the area who are in need. Recently, thieves have been seen on surveillance camera stealing the bikes, at night, he has restored. The story of Mr. Jackson’s plight was sent to The Today Show. Jeff Rossen came to Columbus and did a feature story about Chester and what he does for our community. NBC along with The Boys and Girls Club of Columbus set up a surprise Rally for Mr. Jackson. Hardaway FBLA participated in the rally and helped to present Mr. Jackson and 50 lucky kids from the Boys and Girls Club with new bikes. This event was broadcasted live on Wednesday, October 7th on NBC’s The Today show and was featured as a Jeff Rossen Report.
