Students at Dutch Neck School are walking to raise funds for the Alex’s Lemonade Stand, an organization that raises money to fight childhood cancer. Organized by teacher Denise Nugent, a grades two and three language arts reading teacher, students will collect pledges and walk for exercise — all to increase awareness about cancer. The walk takes place on Friday, October 19.##M:[more]##
Alex’s Lemonade Stand, founded by a young cancer patient’s front yard lemonade stand, has evolved into a nationwide fundraising movement to find a cure for childhood cancer. Since Alexandra Scott (1996-2004) set up her stand at the age of four, more than $16 million has been raised towards fulfilling her dream of finding a cure for all children with cancer.
