Byrneville Students Raise $3.6K In ‘Change Wars’ For Childhood Cancer
October 22, 2018
Byrneville Elementary set out to raise $500 for childhood cancer a few nickels, dimes and quarters at a time. When the “change wars” fundraiser ended, the Byrneville Braves had raised many times more.
Friday morning, the students presented a check for $3,618.18 to Sacred Heart Pediatric Hematology/Oncology.
They raised $1,609.09 in the change wars fundraiser, and the PTO matched. Then they had another $400 donation from a parent who sponsored a “Go Gold” shirt drive.
There are just under 200 students in Byrneville Elementary.

This is awesome! Byrneville is my home community! God Bless the students!
Proud of these children! Disappointed in the number of readers that only post on sad or negative political news.
Way to go Byrneville Elementary.
