Annual cancer fundraiser at St. Charles College draws more than 800 students, staff and community members
Since 2019, the Cards Crush Cancer event has been an annual fundraiser for the Northern Cancer Foundation held annually at St. Charles College in New Sudbury.The event was created by teachers Jessica Demore, Amanda Montgomery, Jennifer Humphrey, and the SCC Student Council in 2019.
For the event, the school grounds of St. Charles are turned into a “festival-themed day with local food trucks on site, BBQ snacks, a huge stage, water balloons, bubble soccer, jumbo lawn games, intramurals, obstacle courses, teacher versus student games, etc.” “The school has a rich history of giving back to the community, and it is important to keep the SCC traditions thriving,” Principal Aaron Barry said in a news release. “We are fortunate to have a phenomenal crew of teachers and students who put on this event and make sure there is always a little something for everyone to enjoy.”
“I am always so amazed at how SCC gets their student body involved and plans these epic fundraising events,” he told the students. “Between the student turnout, the music and sound setup, and the on-site activities, it’s all pretty remarkable. The students and teachers behind the event, somehow find a way to make this event bigger and better every year.
