High‑school students seek $75,000 for Blood Cancer United research fund
Summary
A group of Brecksville‑Broadview Heights High School juniors presented a fundraising campaign to the school board, announcing a $75,000 goal for Blood Cancer United and outlining several upcoming events donors can attend or promote.
Student members of Team Horizon told the Brecksville‑Broadview Heights City Board of Education on Jan. 21 that they are raising funds for Blood Cancer United, focusing donations on research.
“Our fundraising goal this year is $75,000,” the student presenter said, and described an event schedule including a Jan. 23 student pickleball kickoff, an adult 'Cheers to a Cure' event Jan. 28, a Feb. 13 adult pickleball tournament and a Feb. 14 Valentine's‑themed babysitting fundraiser. The students asked board members to share the fundraising page when it goes live.
Superintendent Jeff praised the students' work and civic skills and said the presentation illustrates the district's emphasis on real‑world learning. Board members responded with thanks and encouragement, and the district committed to circulating the event information to stakeholders.
