Washington High School student council members visited Campbellton Elementary on Tuesday, Feb. 18, to promote the Jordan Scheer Memorial Children’s Relay for Life, scheduled for Friday, April 24, at Scanlan Stadium on the WHS campus.
This year’s theme is “Camp Out For A Cure.”
The event is put together by the WHS student council and leadership class. Proceeds are donated to the Franklin County Relay for Life and benefit the American Cancer Society and cancer awareness.
Student Chairs Emily Hahne, Cameron McElhaney, Elise Pruett, Josie Obermark and Abbie Dewert were on hand at Campbellton to speak to the students about the Children’s Relay for Life.
The relay is named in honor of Jordan Scheer, a WHS graduate who lost his battle to cancer shortly after his graduation in 2005.
This year’s Relay for Life marks the 15th year of the program. Last year’s Relay for Life raised $25,000.
This year’s goal is to raise over $25,000. A total of $290,000 has been raised in the 14 years of the event.
Third through sixth grade children from area schools will participate in the event. They must have already registered to attend.
Registration is due March 2.
