Sock It To Cancer Campaign

Sock It To Cancer Campaign


As some of you may know, September is Childhood Cancer Awareness month, and what better way to get involved then to participate in a school-wide “sock it to cancer” campaign?


Your student was given a sock as part of:
Kellsie’s Hope Foundation- Sock it to Cancer Campaign.


The mission of the Kellsie’s Hope Foundation  is to lighten the load of families that have children suffering from cancer by offering support for trips, and gifts that might otherwise be unattainable to a child with cancer. Kellsie’s foundation is also dedicated to raising funds to support research into childhood cancers such as hers and supporting the nursing field with a nursing scholarship each year.


To Participate:
  • The student uses the sock to start collecting change to fill the sock.
  • The sock can be decorated in order to participate in the “best decorated/most creative” sock contest, but it is not required.
  • Return the sock and it’s contents by Wednesday, September 30th, to your homeroom teacher.


That’s it!


The class that collects the most money will receive a pizza party, provided by the Kellsie’s Hope Foundation.


Every sock collected, whether it have a few coins or it be completely full, helps the mission of finding a cure for Childhood Cancer!
