Polaris' Annual Pennies for Patients Fundraiser
POLARIS K-12
PENNIES FOR PATIENTS
2017
We are once again starting our annual pennies for Patients fundraiser. As many of you know, this is a huge fundraiser for our school, and the money raised all goes to support the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society. Our goal this year is to raise $6000.
Leukemia, Lymphoma and Myeloma are all forms of blood cancers, and approximately every 3 minutes one person in the US will be diagnosed with one of these. According to the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society (LLS), approximately every nine minutes someone will die from a blood cancer. Sadly, Leukemia is the most common cancer in children and young adults.
LLS works very hard to raise awareness, to provide information, and to support the children and families whose lives are affected by blood cancer. They spend a lot of time and money on research in hopes that someday they will find a cure for this terrible disease.
Polaris K-12 has been a proud supporter of LLS since 2006, and we hope to continue our efforts to help erase Leukemia out of our schools. I invite you to join us and support our fundraising efforts. There are so many ways to participate, and it is a lot of fun for the students at our school. In fact, we have some of the most creative students, and they come up with some of the best ways to raise money for this cause.
Anything you or your child can do to help support us would be very much appreciated. Please let me know if you have any questions.
