5th Grade Eagles in Action Project
Phil’s Friends is a Christian nonprofit organization started by Phil Zielke, who has survived cancer twice. This group brings support and hope to those affected by cancer in the United States. They create amazing care packages, ongoing support through their Cards of Hope program, and spiritual support through prayer.
When anyone requests a care package for someone who has cancer, (go to www.philsfriends.org) Phil’s Friends sends a package with comforting items that people with cancer need and enjoy.
First way you can help! Consider donating any of the items listed on the flier in the button below. After someone has received a care package, they can expect to receive ongoing encouragement through the Cards of Hope program.
The next thing we can do. We are coloring cards that Phil’s Friends sent us and writing positive messages of love and hope.
Another way to help is with offerings. We are having a penny war to raise money for Phil’s Friends. What that means is that pennies count against your total, so if you bring in pennies, you want to put them into the other teams’ bottle. There are 4 teams: 1st and 2nd grade, 3rd and 4th grade, 5th and 6th grade, and 7th and 8th grade. Preschool and Kindergarteners put money in any bottles too! Send in your silver coins (dollar bills are accepted too) for offering. At the end of March, the bottle with the most money wins!
The final request we have is that you pray for those who are being helped by Phil’s Friends. We are so happy to be a part of making a difference to those who are dealing with cancer.
