Student Council and Spirit are fundraising to collect funds for Leukemia and Lymphoma Society. Donations will be collected by students putting money into the bucket of a faculty member they want to see kiss a goat The winner will then attend the pep rally before school on October 11.

The organization is hoping to make money through this fun fundraising event On Oct 2nd through Oct. 11th, students will be able to make donations during all three lunches.

The funds will go to new treatments such as the new T- cell therapy.

According to cancer.org, “A rapidly emerging immunotherapy approach is called adoptive cell transfer (ACT): collecting and using patients’ immune cells to treat their cancer. There are several types of ACT (see the box below, titled “ACT: TILs, TCRs, and CARs”), but, thus far, the one that has advanced the furthest in clinical development is called CAR T-cell therapy.“

“Kissing goats for cancer (fundraising) is great,” senior Harvest Barry said.

The teachers volunteering for this fundraiser are Amanda Nobles, Amy Pawelek, Helen Womack, Sandy McGuffin, Coach Malesky, Coach VanAunken, and Principal Jackie Horras.

Support to find new treatments by donating and choosing the teacher you want to see kiss a goat.
