Syosset Students Raise Money and Awareness for LLS

June 13, 2016 By Team Up 4 Community

Students at Walt Whitman Elementary School in Syosset recently pulled together to raise more than $3,500 for a very important cause – the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society.

An issue close to the students’ hearts, the Walt Whitman Student Council began spreading awareness about leukemia and lymphoma and distributing collection canisters to the different classrooms for families and staff to donate to the LLS’s Pennies for Patients program.
The effort consisted of incentives to classes that reached donation benchmarks, including board games and ice cream parties provided by the Walt Whitman PTA, “Walt Whitman ROCKS” bracelets for each class member, a basketball game of Knockout with principal Chad Synder and a pizza party to the top fundraising class. Students also created get well cards for distribution by the LLS.
