Congratulations to the 7th Graders at KPMS! They just raised $6,856.25 for St. Jude’s Children’s Research Hospital by participating in a Math-a-Thon!
The top fundraisers were Audrey Kelly ($850); Amelia Penny ($700); Dylan Trainor ($320); Michael Federico ($290); Kylie Lindo $200); and Laura Gelsomini ($200).
At St. Jude’s no family is ever turned away for an inability to pay. Food, lodging, travel, and treatments are covered so that all a parent has to worry about is helping their child to live. Since 2007, 7th graders at King Philip Middle School have raised almost $130,000 for St. Jude’s.
St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital is internationally recognized for its pioneering work in finding cures and saving children with cancer and other catastrophic diseases. Founded by the late entertainer Danny Thomas, and based in Memphis, Tennessee, St. Jude freely shares its discoveries with scientific and medical communities around the world. No family ever pays for treatments not covered by insurance, and families without insurance are never asked to pay.
St. Jude is financially supported by ALSAC®, its fund-raising organization, through such events as the Math-A-Thon. For more information, please visit www.mathathon.org.
