GASTONIA — St. Michael School’s Beta Club sponsored Cancer Awareness Week Oct. 15-19.
The Beta Club created an awareness wall where students could write the names of loved ones on hearts to honor and remember those who have had cancer.
The students also collected teddy bears for the Levine Children’s Hospital, and prepared special notes of encouragement to attach to each bear.
On Wednesday, students were able to bring a $1 donation to dress in pink. All of the money raised was donated to the Levine Children’s Hospital. (Pictured from left) Merrily Tew, Lainey Hazen, Delia Hahn and Karl Osei-Boateng stand in front of the awareness wall.
