Helping Those Who Help Us
By ELLYN SANTIAGO
Dedicated to fighting breast cancer by finding a cure through research, the non-profit Terri Brodeur Breast Cancer Foundation couldn’t do the work it does without community support. We are fortunate enough to have businesses and groups, including even middle-schoolers, raise funds for TBBCF through their own events and fundraising promotions.
Speaking of middle-schoolers, educator Jay Gionet started something big back in 2007 when he took a math word problem and instead of just numbers and symbols on a whiteboard, he inspired middle school kids to reach beyond. They held walk-a-thons and raised thousands and thousands of dollars for TBBCF. Fast-forward to spring 2023 when Clark Lane Middle School students walked and raised $25,000 for TBBCF. Read the inspiring story here.
