I have been working on a fundraiser with Luke's school, Perkins Elementary for the past two months to benefit the Pediatric Cancer Foundation. A former student, Dylan Crane battled Ewing's Sarcoma and passed away in 2005. Dylan's mom, Carole came up with the name "Pennies from Heaven" and Dylan's dad designed a flyer to put on the jugs.
I collected all the jugs and cashed in all the change today. I am very proud to say that the kids collected $424.72 to help fund the cure. The PCF is such an awesome organization doing so much through the Sunshine Project to fund research. The Sunshine Project is focused on Ewing's Sarcoma and new treatments for this rare but devastating bone cancer. These kids fight so hard and suffer things that I can't even imagine. Most that die; do so not from the cancer, but from the treatment.
I would encourage everyone to do a fundraiser like this. It was pretty easy to do and so rewarding. The class that collected the most money wins a popcorn party. Luke's class was the winner with almost $70!! Way to Perkins!!!
*****New total.......$530.18!!!
