ARLINGTON, MA — Members of the Arlington High School Class of 2010 are raising money for the family of one of their classmates, a U.S. Army soldier who died in a helicopter crash Nov. 12. Chief Warrant Officer 2 Marwan S. Ghabour, 27, was among five American soldiers killed in the crash in Egypt.
The AHS Class of 2010 officers started a GoFundMe campaign a week ago to donate money to Ghabour's parents and younger siblings. So far, it has raised $1,300 of its $5,000 goal.
"This period is tough on everyone, so we deeply appreciate anything our community contributes," John Holowitz, a classmate of Ghabour's who started the fundraising page, wrote.
