More than 250 schools in Mississippi participated in the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society’s Pennies For Patients Program. It allows students to develop compassion and learn the value of helping others while they are working for a good cause. For three weeks in February, schools collected coins to raise money to help find cures for leukemia, lymphoma, Hodgkin’s Disease, myeloma research and for patient services.
Newton County Elementary School in Decatur was second overall in fund-raising with a $5,473.57.
With an outstanding amount of determination and compassion, students across the state raised more than $181,000 for the benefit of blood cancer research and patient services.
