It's that time of year again at Sudbury's Lockerby Composite School, where students will again be canvassing for the annual Kids Caring for Kids Cancer Drive: Remembering Laura Cotesta.
The event is being held on Thursday, Oct. 26.
Students will call on local businesses and neighbourhoods seeking financial pledges that directly support pediatric cancer care at the Shirley and Jim Fielding Northeast Cancer Centre at Health Sciences North and help keep kids in need of care closer to home, said a news release from the school.
The school advises that participating students will have physical pledge forms, as well as a QR code that will allow residents to donate directly to a custom Lockerby Cancer Drive fundraising webpage.
Lockerby is encouraging residents who are visited by Lockerby students to please give generously to help support pediatric cancer care. If you are unable to give in person, please consider making a donation online.
The school is also advising Sudbury residents to be extra attentive on the roads Thursday evening with the increased foot traffic.
The Northern Cancer Foundation (NCF) will advance and make a difference in cancer outcomes and experiences through the support of research and patient care in Northeastern Ontario. Every dollar donated stays in the region, which enables the Shirley and Jim Fielding Northeast Cancer Centre at Health Sciences North to give patients the best care possible, said the press release.
