A North Warren Class of 2016 Senior, Cassidy Lewis, was instrumental in calling attention to the challenges for the children and families of those being treated at the Melodies Center for Childhood Cancer and Blood Disorders at Albany Medical Center.
During the month of January, the “Homebase Penny Challenge” took place in the interest of raising funds for gift cards to benefit the families of the children being treated there. Through these efforts, a total of $700.00 was raised! At the end of the challenge, the proceeds were converted into a total of 28 Stewart’s Gift cards for $25.00 each, to be used for the purchase of gasoline or food.
Cassidy personally delivered the cards during her February break to a certified Life Specialist, Angela Silipigno. Angela shared, “We greatly appreciate Cassidy's efforts and the gift cards have already been of great use to our families... Thank you again for your efforts with this great project!”
