"From freshman year, some of my favorite events were the school sports games that we had a booth/table at. I loved taking part in the Rangers tackle leukemia football game booth and selling treats at Dig Pink. I also liked the Walk for Cancer because it was a great opportunity to interact with other club members and encourage those who have/had cancer. My last favorite event from freshman year was the ornament decoration. I thought it was super fun and I loved that all the money went to St Judes. From sophomore year, my favorite activity was making cards for those in the hospital. We all got to be creative and make tons of cards to make kids in the hospital happy!!"
"Personally, I love how this club is able to connect with other people to make an impact on the lives of others who are struggling with cancer."
"For me, cancer and other health conditions have had a huge impact on my family. My favorite aspect of our club is that I get to work with other people that are also passionate about this cause, and that I can spend time at events that educate other people about it."Â
