Brownie Troop 2472 Contributes

Sudbury, MA Brownie Troop 2472 donated all of their "Chores for Charity" money to Christopher's Haven. The Brownies did chores at home for six weeks and then learned about opportunities to give, spend or save their money as part of the Penny Power Try-It. They raised more than $100. Troop Co-Leader Michelle Davis said learning about the children who have cancer and need a place to stay in Boston during their treatment "struck a chord with this group of 8-year old girls."

Second graders at Loring Elementary School

The second graders at Loring Elementary School (100+ kids) raised money this year for Christopher's Haven as part of their social action project. Attached is a picture of them presenting Christopher's Haven with a check for $1046.75. The kids were very excited about the project and picture and hope they will "make" the Sudbury Town Crier! This was their "helping hands" social action project in which the kids talked about being thankful for their own health and did extra chores around the house to make money for those less fortunate. Loring second grade teacher Barbara Durant was the head teacher for this project.
