Thank You To Our Local Sponsor:
MAY 2015
Across Indiana this school year, more than 550 schools said they would help us in our mission to find a cure for blood cancers and improve the lives of our patients. Whether urban, suburban or rural, private or public, big or small, and regardless of socio-economic make up, students joined together to make a big difference. Schools have a variety of reasons for participating in Pennies for Patients. For some, the meaning is personal and painful. Such is the case with Franklin Township Middle School West in Indianapolis, who lost a classmate to leukemia last year. (Read more about their story on the back page). For others, it’s a matter of tradition, such as Clay Middle School in Carmel who has been participating for nearly 20 years and raised
more than $150,000. Some schools participate because they want to teach their students that despite their circumstances they can give back, such as William Penn Elementary School 49 in Indianapolis who has a 100% free/reduced lunch rate. Still some schools are new to our program and participate simply because they were asked to. Regardless of the reason, we hope that you found the program enjoyable and worthwhile. Know that your participation and commitment to the program is never taken lightly and is always appreciated. Indiana schools are on target to raise more
than $550,000 this year! On behalf of the
staff of LLS, our Honored Heroes and all those
fighting a blood cancer, THANK YOU!
INDIANA SCHOOLS CONTINUE TO MAKE IMPACT PUTTING HEART INTO CAMPAIGNS

During this year’s School & Youth Programs nearly 27,000 schools—a quarter of all schools across the country—engaged in meaningful service, leadership and helped save lives! Students connected with The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society’s (LLS) mission and collected spare change, made online donations, held talent shows, ran bake sales, taped their teachers to walls, partnered with community business, shaved heads, and so much more to raise money and make a difference in the lives of blood cancer patients. Because of this amazing work, donations from the 2014-2015 School & Youth Programs are expected to total over $28 million! Thanks to these efforts and those of the teachers, parents and communities that support these extraordinary students, LLS is able to help blood cancer patients and their families. A world without blood cancers is the LLS goal. And the millions of students who participated in this year’s programs are making an impact. We hope you will continue to support our efforts and join us next year by registering for the 2015-2016 campaign. To sign up your school or for more information on the programs, please visit www.schoolandyouth.org. For more information on LLS’s mission, please visit www.lls.org not someday, but today.

Middle School “Keeps Shining” for Former Classmate In winter of 2012, Maddy was a typical teenager at Franklin Township Middle School West. She was a bright, smart and well-rounded student. She was loved by all students and staff. She was the student that everyone wanted to be partners with in class, that every teacher wanted to teach, and that always strived to be the best. On March 12, 2012 Maddy was diagnosed with Acute Myeloid Leukemia. She underwent chemotherapy, blood transfusions, and weeks at Riley and St. Jude hospitals trying to stop this horrible disease. In 2013, West was approached to help raise money for LLS through Pennies for Patients. Our goal was $5,000 with the hope of shaving our principal’s head and educating our students about leukemia. Maddy was a patient at Riley during our campaign week and was very involved. She would send daily announcements, update daily goals, and educate the students and staff about leukemia. The school quickly started realizing how serious this disease was and what a difference a penny can make! Money started pouring in and during a pep session our final total was revealed—the only person who knew our total was Maddy! We Skyped into her hospital room and she revealed our total—almost $8,000. There were tears, cheers, and 900 students who couldn’t believe what we had done. Maddy’s parents were at the school as the total was revealed and her sister was the first to shave our principal’s head.
McKenzie Career Center’s HOSA group got a big surprise when Colts Kicker Pat McAfee attended their fundraiser and wrote a check for $4,000 to their campaign!

Did you know…You can participate in Pennies for Patients at any time during the school
year? While February is most common, feel free to select any time that works best!
In November of 2013, Maddy lost her battle to leukemia. It was a rough time becoming motivated again to live up to what our school did the previous year. We tried our best, but did it with heavy hearts. We did raise money for Pennies Patients and the school brought in about $2,500. Maddy’s motto was always to “keep on shining” and to live each day like this. We decided we would raise money again during the 2014 school year and do it for Maddy. We set our goal this year as being the state middle school winner! To kick off our week, Maddy’s mom came to the school and talked to the student body about Maddy and how not to give up! It isn’t often you can find 900 middle school students sitting straight and hanging onto each word, but they did! We agreed as a school to try to raise $10,000! We had a week of spirit, a week of education, a week of competition, and a week of remembering Maddy! We did it!! We brought in $11,903! The student body celebrated with Boomer from the Pacers, pies in the administration faces, and a feeling that we can do anything! Maddy is still shining with us at West and we will always be involved with Pennies for Patients until a cure is found.
Love this opportunity to be a part of something bigger than CHS! —Rosie Fakes, Cascade High School

Clay Middle School in Carmel has been a longtime supporter of Pennies for
Patients, raising more than $150,000 for LLS in its history which spans nearly 20
years. This year, Clay teamed up with the two other middle schools in Carmel—
Creekside Middle School and Carmel Middle School for a faculty vs. faculty charity
basketball game on January 23. Students at all three schools raised money in the
week leading up to the event and capped it off with an exciting night of basketball
games which included a team from the Carmel Police & Fire Departments. Two
Pennies for Patients Honored Heroes, Lauren, a freshman at Center Grove High
School and Quincy, a second-grader at Oaklandon Elementary were on hand to
serve as honored guests for the evening. Between the fundraising that took place
leading up the game and the proceeds from the game itself the three schools
together raised an amazing $20,633!
We are thankful for the support of
these three schools and for continuing
to bring awareness to our mission.

What’s New for 2015-2016? We are always looking to improve your fundraising experience and provide excellent support! Here is some of what you can expect to see during the next school year: Continuing development and promotion of online fundraising– schools
who share the online link raise more money for the LLS mission!
New options for high schools to participate. Planning a campaign at a high school will be more fun and easier than ever.
Emphasis on planning meetings and kickoff assemblies. Schools who meet with LLS staff to plan the campaign generally have more success as students/coordinators learn tips and ideas. Assemblies get the whole student body involved in understanding the mission!
