Vista del Lago raises $2,300 in pennies for cancer patients
A Pennies for Patients fundraiser held at Vista del Lago High raised nearly $2,300 for the Leukemia and Lymphoma Societyand the American Cancer Society.
Teresa Rexin led this year's fundraiser for Vista's Kickin' Cancer and Relay for Life Clubs by organizing friendly competitions between 60+ advisories, weekly guessing jars, and $1 donations for the Wall of Hope to Beat Cancer.
Rexin collaborated with key officers: ASB President, Jordan Kane and other school clubs, Alyssa Wang from the California Scholarship Federation (CSF), and Luke Lazzarini with the Leo Club. The group recruited student volunteers for the three week long school-wide event to raise generous donations to help cancer patients. They had support from club advisers Mrs. Burns, Mrs. Kleinle, and Mrs. Quinton.
