Our goal was to promote the T.E.A.M portion of Rexannas Foundation. We want to reach as many elementary, middle and high school students, by educating them about the negative effects of tobacco and cigarettes. At the elementary level we promoted our bracelet fundraiser. $1 for 1 bracelet. An easy, yet powerful fundraiser. Having every elementary kiddo wearing a T.E.A.M bracelet would show they are being educatated on the negative effects of tobacco. By kids paying $1 they can be empowered to know that they are helping to make a difference in the fight for lung cancer. Lastly we hope the kids will pay it forward, by going home and selling a bracelet to their family and friends. With this, it gives them an opportunity to talk about what T.E.A.M means and lung cancer.
At the middle school and high school levels we have several different fundraiser ideas and events that can be used to raise awareness in the fight against lung cancer. We have full out fundraisers(similar to jump rope for the heart) or events such as 5Ks that can be held at the school along with Huddle Up Challenges. Hosting a Rexanna's Foundation event at the high school level automatically qualifies that high school to recieve a college scholarship for a student who has been affected in some way by cancer.
If you are interested in more information please contact us @ Kristen.rexannasfoundation@yahoo.com. Kristen Alex is the T.E.A.M coordinator and would love to hear from you.
Here are a few pictures from the conference!
