On February 1st, St. Paul kicked off our Pennies for Patients Program! Pennies for Patients is a fundraising program that helps fund the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society (LLS). During our assembly, we met a survivor named Margo who stole our hearts. She was two years old when she got sick with Leukemia. She is now four and is a survivor! Margo is a survivor of this terrible disease because of people like us who raise money to help research and find the cure for childhood blood cancers.

Throughout the month of February students will be collecting money to help support research and treatments to help save the lives of those affected with blood cancers. Students were given a small box on Monday to help them collect coins and bills. Students may also ask for donations from family and friends. Any amount will help out!

This year we are able to ask for donations online! Our link to the school fundraising page is http://events.lls.org/pages/ky/StPaulSchoolLouisville. Students and parents can set up their own personalized page to fundraise for Pennies for Patients. Students who raise $50 or more on the website will receive a free t-shirt!

This year our goal is to collect $2500 so that we, St. Paul School, can help to make a difference in the lives of those that are suffering with blood-borne cancers like Margo. Help support St. Paul Pennies for Patients Program by helping your child raise money and save lives!
