Schools Join Forces to Benefit Hemophilia Research

May 22, 2015 By Team Up 4 Community

West End Elementary School’s Student Council and Lynbrook High School’s Student Government Association joined forces to raise money for hemophilia research during Lynbrook’s Lacrosse Day in late April. The $200 in proceeds was donated to Christopher’s Hemophilia Benefit in support of West End fifth-grader Christopher Ambrosio. The collaboration between the elementary and high school students resulted from discussions that began in February, when students at a joint meeting brainstormed ways they could work together to benefit an important cause. Christopher, who was born with hemophilia, organizes various initiatives with the support of his family and friends. Their goal is to increase awareness and raise funds for the National Hemophilia Foundation in order to find a cure for this rare bleeding disorder.

With insight from several high school athletes who participate in the Student Government Association, the two student groups decided that a sporting event would present an ideal fundraising opportunity. Approximately 20 elementary and high school students worked together and sold snacks, beach towels, blankets and other items as the varsity boys lacrosse team faced off in a game against Manhasset.
