Byrneville Students Collect Hats, Cash For Kids With Cancer

October 19, 2011

Byrneville Elementary School recently held a “Hats Off For Cancer” program, collecting money and  new hats to donate to children who lose their hair due to cancer treatments. The school collected 29 new hats and $310, according to Principal Dee Wolfe-Sullivan.

“We may be a small school, but our families have big hearts,” Wolfe-Sullivan said.

Since 1996, over one million brand new hats have been collected nationwide through the program for children with cancer.
