Lexington Middle School Students Hold Fund Raiser for Kids with Cancer
Benefit for the St. Jude’s Children’s Cancer Research Center
Over $400 Donated to St. Jude’s Children’s Cancer Research Center
The students of the Lexington Middle School Kiwanis Builders Club held a carnation sale fund raiser to benefit the St. Jude’s Children’s Cancer Research Center. The fund raiser resulted in over $400 in donations to the center. Ballantine Florist donated the carnations for the sale.
The Kiwanis Builders Club sold carnations during their lunch hour. They encouraged their fellow students to give a flower to their favorite teacher, parents and classmates. Flowers were delivered on Friday of that week with a message from the student giving the flower.
“Everyone has been touched by cancer, and we just wanted to help out. It is wonderful to see young persons serving their community,” said Lisa Ballantine of Ballantine Florist.
