About:
Meadowbrook Elementary School partnered with the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society’s Student Series to help patients and families fight these medical issues through their “Pennies for Patients” fundraiser.
Students collected money and donated their loose change to help children battling childhood cancers. To promote the fundraiser, Meadowbrook held two spirit days, “Team Up Against Leukemia” and “Spread Love for a Cure.” On these days, students, faculty and administration wore their favorite team jerseys and the colors red or pink. Over the three-week fundraiser, Meadowbrook collected over $1,500 in donations.
