Ada students collecting Pennies for Patients

Local goal $2,000 for leukemia and lymphoma research
Posted by Fred Steiner on Tuesday, January 24, 2017

Ada School students will be collecting Pennies for Patients for the next three weeks with a goal of raising $2,000 for leukemia and lymphoma research and patience assistance.

Speaking at a kickoff assembly on Monday, Julie Thaxton, (pictured), junior high math teacher and Beta Club advisor, encouraged junior high students to raise funds for the project. The Beta Club, an honor society, is heading up the project.

Last year 1,300 schools in the area raised nearly $500,000. It was noted that those diagnosed in the 1960s had a 10 percent chance of living, when today the odds are 95 percent, so research is important.
