We hope you will consider donating to help us with our annual event showing families can help other families in need. Clarence Soccer Boosters has encouraged us to get involved with Kevin Guest House to learn more about giving back but also to host families from the elementary & middle school levels to enjoy a family fun event at our campus.

A Clarence Central Schools Soccer Program led event aims to encourage our students, players, coaches, and families to unify for the entire school district community and fundraise to keep families together during medical crisis and ease the financial hardships they face. We expect to host 200 or more people. Some of us will be fundraising online along with our t-shirt & silicone bracelet sales to raise even more. As high school students/coaches/advisors, we want to lead by example and show our peers that giving back to families in need is a great way to have fun too!

Kevin Guest House serves an average of 2,000 families annually that travel to Buffalo’s renowned medical community for lifesaving treatment.  As America’s first healthcare hospitality house, they’ve provided a home away from home for more than 61,000 guests for 50 years. Your support plays a vital role in the success of Kevin Guest House and the continuation of their mission for another 50 years.

Ways You Can Help:

• Thoughtfuldonation to help the Cause
• Share our continued efforts promoting awareness

Thank you for considering helping our school’s efforts for Kevin Guest House.

Earl L. Vandermeulen High School took steps in support of Leukemia Awareness Month by wearing the color orange on Sept. 16. Students and staff also raised $250 by donating funds during homeroom to raise awareness of the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society and to honor a former Port Jefferson School District student living with leukemia.

During the Bayport-Blue Point School District’s Board of Education meeting on Sept. 13, Cub Scout Troop 130 was recognized by the central administration and the district’s trustees for the gift of five benches placed at each of the elementary schools for the community to enjoy. The benches, a multi-year project, were made from 550 pounds of recycled bottle caps, which were collected by the troop’s 37 scouts. The scouts currently attend Academy Street Elementary, Blue Point Elementary and Sylvan Avenue Elementary schools and received a certificate of appreciation from each of the principals.
