The Gould School Student Council has signed on to raise funds in the fight against blood cancer with The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society's (LLS) Student Series. Starting January 14th, we will be having a Change War between the homerooms called Pennies for Patients. Each day of our kickoff week fundraiser will have a theme. At the end of the week the classroom with the most change collected will be dubbed the winner!
The schedule is as follows:
|
Monday 1/14
|
Tuesday 1/15
|
Wednesday 1/16
|
Thursday 1/17
|
Friday 1/18
|
|
Pajama Pennies
Don't forget to put your pennies in the pockets of your favorite pajamas.
|
Neon Nickels
Wear your brightest neon and bring in nickels!
|
Dazzling Dimes
Donate dimes & wear something shiny or something that makes you unique.
|
Crazy Quarters
Wear a crazy hat and/or socks to school and cash in your quarters.
|
Team up for Leukemia
Wear your favorite team's jersey or colors and collect all coins and dollars!
|
In addition to our kickoff week, students will now be able to fundraise online through their homeroom's unique class page (this information was sent home with your child). Students have the opportunity to create their own fundraising. The homeroom that collects the most money will earn a party!
By collecting donations, LLS is able to fund more effective therapies. LLS has invested more than $1 billion in research to advance therapies that save lives. In the 1960's the survival rate for the most common form of childhood leukemia was 3%. Today it's approximately 90% thanks to many research advances funded by programs like Student Series.
Thank you, and thanks to your child, for helping LLS create a world without blood cancers.
Sincerely,
The Gould School Student Council
