Clearview schools raise $28,000 for cancer research

Officials with Clearview Public Schools say the district is proud to share that students and staff in Clearview’s schools have raised $28,057.85 towards cancer research.

The money was raised in the fall of 2021 when schools hosted Terry Fox Run events. In May, Clearview received a thank you letter from the Terry Fox Foundation and that includes the total amount raised in Clearview in 2021. Officials say the amount is nearly $4,000 more than 2020, when Clearview’s schools raised $24,155.80.

“We are proud of our students for this significant achievement,” says Brenda MacDonald, Clearview Superintendent. “We admire each student’s generosity and effort to raise money. Your actions are inspiring and encouraging.”

“Also, thank you to staff for helping students understand the importance of giving, and for helping them connect with the legacy of Terry Fox,” she continued. “Thank you to our families as well, for supporting your children in this event each year. This success is another evidence of the caring community we have in Clearview.”
