On Sunday October 19, 2008, the Swim Team participated in the Making Strides Against Breast Cancer Walk at Roger Williams Park, Providence, RI. The team was joined by other members (students and staff) of our school community. The walk is an annual event and is sponsored by the American Cancer Society (ACS). Participants were were encouraged to make others aware of this frightening disease and how it can affect the lives of people. In addition, particpants of the walk raised money which was donated towards the fight to find a cure for cancer.
We are happy to report that the Swim Team raised a total of $940, all of which will be donated to the ACS. The team sponsored a bakesale on the Friday prior to the walk. A total of $163 was raised from the sale. The additional amount came from private donors and sponsors. This campaign could not have been successful without the hard work as displayed by the Swim Team and other members of the school community and beyond in supporting the cause.
Congrats!
