Middlesex Campuses Against Cancer

Hello Everyone! Middlesex School is excited to be fundraising for our third straight year to benefit the American Cancer Society. Middlesex Campuses Against Cancer was started only three years ago, with only about 25 members, and now we have nearly 80. We meet throughout the year to discuss cancer's impacts on our community, as well as to develop ideas to raise money for the American Cancer Society. Earlier this year, we hosted our first Halloween event. Students bought goody bags and then went trick or treating around the science building, where the members of our club were dressed up and ready to give out candy. In the winter, we hosted a chuck-a-puck event, in which students purchased numbered pucks and went down to the bench before a Boys’ hockey game to throw their pucks; whoever got closest to the center point of the rink won a zamboni ride between periods. Not to mention, we ran a very successful bake sale at the game. Now, on April 20, 2019, Campuses Against Cancer will be holding our third annual memorial walk, called Circle Up Against Cancer from 9 to 11pm on campus. In addition, we will be distributing paper lanterns to decorate the circle with so we can illuminate campus as we walk. In addition to the walk, we will be holding a Mindfulness meditation at the beginning of the event, led by Doug Worthen. If you are an alumnus or have a connection to Middlesex but are not currently in the community, you are welcome to donate in honor of someone and we can and will read the names of those mentioned during our meditation/Quaker meeting before the event. We will also be selling treats and grilled food, playing music, and empowering the school to walk for a cause that expands far beyond the gates of our community, while also touching the hearts of many Middlesex students and faculty. While this event is only open to the current Middlesex community, the members of the club felt it appropriate to expand our net of potential donors to family, friends, Middlesex alumni, and peers who would like to help fund Middlesex's Campuses Against Cancer Club. All the proceeds from this page will go directly to the American Cancer Society, as well as the profits from out t-shirt and grilled food sales on the night of the event. In the past, we were able to raise over $6,000, and we are incredibly humbled by the support we have received and are excited to continue receiving donations that will be given directly to ACS on behalf of the club and the school. We appreciate any and all support we can get and thank you all in advance for your donations and continued support of our organization.
