Hicksville Middle School Fundraises For Children's Cancer Research Fund

HICKSVILLE, NY — Hicksville Middle School has united with the Children's Cancer Research Fund, setting a $1,000 fundraising goal to benefit the organization.

To kick off the effort, faculty and staff across the district purchased special t-shirts to wear each Friday throughout September in recognition of Childhood Cancer Awareness Month.

Fundraising efforts will continue into October as the Hicksville School District community works together to reach its goal.

Students are also making a difference by selling silicone bracelets during lunch periods.

“This is an incredibly important cause because the Children’s Cancer Research Fund
supports life-changing and lifesaving trials for children with cancer,” said Hicksville Middle
School teacher Meg McElroy. “In addition, sadly, childhood cancer is not nearly as rare as
we all want it to be or think that it is, and it’s important to spread awareness.”
