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.

    Proud of these children! Disappointed in the number of readers that only post on sad or negative political news.
