Two elementary schools in Pennsauken will be raising funds on Friday, June 9, to help fight pediatric cancer.
Both Benjamin Franklin, 7201 Irving Ave., and Longfellow Elementary, 1400 Forrest Ave., will each be hosting an Alex’s Lemonade Stand Friday morning. Longfellow’s stand will run from 9:00 to 11:30 a.m.; Franklin’s stand will run from 9:30 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. Funds raised from both events benefit Alex’s Lemonade Stand, a non-profit that raises money and awareness of childhood cancer causes, primarily research into new treatments and cures, and encourages and empowers others – especially children – to get involved and make a difference for children with cancer.
In addition, both schools are collecting online donations as part of this fundraising initiative. To make donations on behalf of Benjamin Franklin Elementary, click here. To make donations on behalf of Longfellow Elementary, click here.
