Just a little plug for a fundraising effort I've taken on with my school. We have two students at the elementary school where I teach that both have leukemia. One student is a kindergarten-er and the other is a fifth grader. To show support for these students AND to help other children who have leukemia and lymphoma, we've taken on the challenge of increasing awareness and raising money to support this cause. We are competing with other schools in Ohio, now through the end of March. Currently, the staff and students at our elementary have raised over $4,900 for this cause (just since October)! The staff willingly pays to wear jeans on Wednesdays for "Casual for a Cause", and they took on babysitting for a fee with "Parents' Night Out"...oh, and you can't forget "the Pie in the Face" fundraiser as well. The students attempted to see how much money they could raise in our activity called "How Much Is a Million?" (trying to bring in a million pennies total) and with a friendly competition between classes.
If you'd like to make a donation to support this cause, you can do that online at http://http://www.active.com/donations/fundraise_public.cfm?key=syPIndian&CFID=17600217&CFTOKEN=17830548 Money raised helps support the families, alleviate some of the fees of patient care, helps the research for cures and new medicines, and more. Thanks in advance for your support! I'll update you in April on our final totals!
