About:
Key Club members at General Douglas MacArthur High School recently raised more than $1,800 for breast cancer awareness and research through fundraising efforts with the American Cancer Society’s Mobile Fundraising App. The club members shared the app link to family and friends over the course of approximately two months and accepted cash donations.
The club also participated in the Jones Beach Making Strides Against Breast Cancer Walk in October. Due to their fundraising efforts, the American Cancer Society awarded the Key Club with a banner which will be displayed in the high school.
“I was so surprised and excited,” said Key Club adviser Ayla Demirayak. “It was great that the kids get to see their hard work pay off and get recognized.”
