Lids For Lupus Day

| 29 Sep 2011 | 08:41

Last month the children at the Helen Morgan School helped to raise money for the Alliance for Lupus Research. They each were able to wear a hat for the day if they contributed a dollar. With the help of staff, the school was able to raise $1,187. Each dollar will be brought to the walk on June 17 at Giants Stadium. Alpine Elementary and Mohawk Avenue School will also be having similar fundraisers for the walk later this Spring. At left, Melissa Melgarejo and Ryan Grant pay their dues for wearing hats. At right, students Colin McBride, Annalise Dottinger, Lauren DeBlock, Diana Torsiello, Carol Mathusek, Brooke Blasone, Jessica Burns, Kaleigh Dwyer, Kaitlyn Jacobs, Richie Clark, and Ian Cavanaugh show off their headgear.
