After a YouTube music video spoof of “Thrift Shop” sent three University of Mobile (UMobile) students to compete on Game Show Network’s “The American Bible Challenge” (read story at www.thealabamabaptist.org), the trio decided to give something representative of their winnings — a check for $45,000 — to Home of Grace for Women in Eight Mile.
New flooring
According to al.com, Home of Grace, a residential recovery program for women, plans to use the money to install a new floor in the cafeteria which was last updated more than 30 years ago.
The students chose Home of Grace because two of them had volunteered there during Project Serve, the university’s annual day of service.
Harrison Hughes, Seth Brasher and Kory Van Matre, all worship leadership majors, competed as Rhymz With Grace on “The American Bible Challenge.”
They made it to the final round in Season 3 but lost in July to the Bible Belts, according to al.com. Brasher graduated in the spring.
Home of Grace executive director Doris Wood-Littleton said that although the students told host Jeff Foxworthy on the show that the winnings would go to fund a playground at Home of Grace. Since that time UMobile alumni have offered to fund a playground.
