Pennies for Patients
Pennies for Patients kicks off next week! We will start fundraising April 23rd and continue through May 4th. Our school goal is to raise $3,000 to donate to the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society to help their mission to cure blood cancers and improve the lives of patients and their families. Each student will be given a small Pennies for Patients collection box to keep their donations, along with an information sheet about the fundraiser. Students should return the box every day to their teacher to empty into the class collection box. There will be a grand prize for the class who raises the most money. There will also be different spirit days throughout the two weeks for students as well as teachers to participate in. Please see below.
Let's do our part to help fight cancer! The online fundraising page link is:
