As a school community, CCS became aware of Childhood Cancer Ireland as this amazing charity has supported a staff member’s family whose son has being undergoing treatment for childhood cancer.
The school community not only raised awareness of childhood and adolescent cancer, but more importantly raised vital funds for the essential practical and emotional supports and services this charity provides to children and their families impacted by such a devastating diagnosis.
CCS found the local response to their efforts to be so overwhelmingly positive that they decided to continue the fundraising efforts into October and raised an incredible €7,000 to help battle childhood cancer in Ireland.
