Thank You
North Ranch Elementary School |
North Ranch Elementary School in Scottsdale Arizona adopts non-profit community organizations as their special projects. The students then hold fundraising activities during the year and donate the money that they raise to these adopted organizations. North Ranch adopted Children’s Cancer Network during both the 2006-2007 & 2007-2008 school years. Each year the children in this elementary school have presented Children’s Cancer Network with a very generous donation to be used for patient and family services.
In addition to the financial support through fundraising, the school sponsored a table at the 2008 Fashion Show and luncheon. Representatives from the school who attended the event included the principle, teachers and administrative staff as well as students from the student council and their parents. The 500 students in this K-6 school also make greeting cards to coincide with each holiday. These handmade treasures are delivered by Children’s Cancer Network to the children currently undergoing cancer treatment at the local hospitals in the Phoenix metropolitan area.
 2008 was the third year that Children’s Cancer Network teamed up with the Great Harvest Bread Company in Tempe, AZ for this springtime project. With a little time and a lot of love, Great Harvest’s signature Honey Whole Wheat dough once again became lovable Honey Bunny Bread Loaves. Proceeds from the sale of these delicious treats are used to purchase gas cards to help families in the Phoenix east valley cover the cost of transportation for chemotherapy, radiation, or other treatments for cancer.
