Pennies for Patients
posted 2/10/10
Fundraiser
Loyalton Middle School is doing a fund raiser called Pennies for Patients in partnership with the Leukimia and Lymphoma Society. Over the years, several students and staff have battled the disease and won, so we know what a difference we can make. We have a goal of earning $1,500 for this 10th annual fundraiser.
If we get to our goal Mr. Fisher, Ryan Laird, Vincent Gallegos, and Chase Grandi: will shave their head bald and Mrs. Alfred, Elizabeth Lizarde, Kyra McGarr, Madison Snider, Katherine Cleghorn, and Alyson Wikoff will dye their hair pink.
We also have team incentives for the Olympics. The 1st place team gets to squirt the 4th place team with hot dog condiments. They also will be serenaded by a song made up about them. The 2nd place team has to do the Chicken Dance in front of the entire school. The 3rd place team has to make up a song and sing it to 1st place team, and 4th place are the "Human Hot Dogs" that will get to be squirted by 1st place with hot dog condiments.
We need help to get to our goal. We are asking parents and Loyalton Middle School students to give us some change to help save kids that have leukemia and lymphoma. If you would like to donate money come to Loyalton Middle School and support the team you would like to win. Collection boxes are in the following rooms: Australia is in room 6, Costa Rica in room 7, Greece is in room 9, and Ireland is in room 2. Donations may be made in loose change, cash or checks. Checks should be made payable to Loyalton Middle School. The fundraiser ends on Feb 19th. Thanks for helping out.
