while their child receives treatment and some of the funds helps research the
leukemia and lymphoma cancers and their potential cures.
Last year our school raised
over $2500 and our goal this year is to double our contributions from last
year. This year’s organizing committee consists of many members of the
freshman class who are helping to raise funds in honor of one of their own
classmates. Garrett Asmus was diagnosed with Hodgkin’s Lymphoma just
before Christmas and so our school is raising funds in his name for the
“Lymphoma and Leukemia Society of Iowa”.
Once again there are
incentives for the classes bringing in the most funds. A pizza party will
be given to the top group in Elementary, Middle and High Schools. Also
individual classes raising over $100 dollars will receive a bronze pennant for
your classroom, over $200 will receive a silver pennant, and over $300 will
receive a gold pennant. Your classroom should have a collection can for
this campaign and we encourage everyone to visit with friends, family, and
community people about donating to this worthy cause.
