Students from Malverne’s Davison Avenue Intermediate School are proud to announce that, thanks to support from the school community, they raised $1,148 for Pink Cans 4 Cancer, a nonprofit organization dedicated to helping women battling breast cancer through recycling.
The third annual fundraiser is spearheaded by the fifth grade Davison Ambassadors, who worked hard to promote the fundraiser to students and families, as well as helped gather and organize over 4,000 cans and bottles that were collected and prepared them to be picked up by Pink Cans 4 Cancer.
Pink Cans 4 Cancer founders Robert and Tony visited the students to thank them for their support. They expressed gratitude for this partnership and shared with the students how their efforts will directly help raise awareness for young women who are battling breast cancer in our community.
Since the start of the fundraiser in 2022, Davison Ambassadors have collected over 26,000 bottles and cans and donated a total of $4,886.70 to Pink Cans 4 Cancer.
