Oxford Hills High School National Honor Society Raises Money for Cancer Resource Center of Western MaineThe Cancer Resource Center of Western Maine (CRCofWM) recently received a $4,000 donation from students in the National Honor Society (NHS) at Oxford Hills Comprehensive High School (OHCHS) during their recent NHS Induction Ceremony on May 26th. Carlee-Mae Cash, rising senior and current National Honor Society president shared: “We decided as a group that we wanted to raise awareness of cancer in our community and the local resources available to patients and their families. Each year, our NHS chapter picks a local charity that we want to target all our fundraising efforts towards. We were excited to choose the Cancer Resource Center of Western Maine this year. We recognized and admired the work of the volunteers and employees and saw that the center was making a large difference in the lives of many within the community.”
According to Diane Madden, CRCofWM Executive Director, “We are very grateful to the students for this very generous donation. They are a very impressive group of students who certainly exemplify the pillars of the National Honor Society: character, scholarship, leadership and service. These monies they raised will directly benefit cancer patients and their families. |
