About:
As part of our district wide “MW CARES” initiative, TWO of our Varsity teams participated in a “Coloring for Chemo” event on Tuesday, October 15th. The Monroe-Woodbury Girls Varsity Tennis and Varsity Cheerleading teams donated coloring books and art supplies and helped create baskets of collected items to be delivered to a local children’s hospital.
“Cancer can be a very dark thing, but Coloring for Chemo makes it a little brighter by bringing baskets full of coloring books and crayons to cancer patients. Our mission is to supply chemotherapy units with baskets filled full of coloring books, crayons, paints, markers, etc. They believe art therapy is a healthy beneficial tool in the healing process, both physically and mentally. Coloring for Chemo is a non-profit foundation focusing on bringing art therapy to cancer patients and their families.” (from Coloring for Chemo website)
Our teams are proud to support such a meaningful program that aims at helping children and families through a very difficult time.
