Kick-Off for Leukemia


On the day after Ash Wednesday, a few of the Rutgers Champion football players came to BA to help us kick-off our Lenten campaign to fight against children with leukemia. Cancer is a disease that sadly affects almost every family. Our goal was to give alms for 40 days to raise $1,000 toward this worthwhile cause. We are proud to say that we have exceeded our goal by $200 raising $1200! Our Sophomore class were the leaders in donations inspiring the other grades to generosity. They will be celebrating with a pizza party. The Senior Class was not far behind and will also be celebrating, only they will be enjoying an ice cream party. Candace, one of our Seniors, was the highest contributor and the delighted recipient of a football autographed by our Rutger's players.
