MEMBERS!
Thank you to all the youth group members
that helped to make our Valentine's Day

approximately $120 for St. Thomas More.

Also, thank you to the parents for
contributing delicious baked goods to our
project.  

Finally, thank you for your generous
donations to our sale ~ we really appreciate
your support.

Change for Charity

From Carrie & Emily:  

his is a shout out to those who want to give
money to St. Thomas More’s Youth Group
project, Change for Charity.  Last year we
raised hundreds of dollars for the American
Cancer Society.  

This year we help raise money to
Children’s
Chance.  According to www.childrenschance.
org, “Children's Chance raises money to fund
a variety of programs to meet the financial,
psychological, and emotional needs of the
pediatric cancer patient and their families.”

Our change can add up to lots of help for
these families:  

  • $10 raised helps pay for lunch while a
    child receives treatment;  

  • $25 pays for gas for families traveling
    long distances to receive treatment;

  • $100 pays for a sick child to participate
    in art therapy.

Please bring your change to the next St.
Thomas More Youth Group meeting.   Or,
during religious education, you may give your
donations to youth group members Carrie
Chalfant or Emily Bogdan.  Please email Carrie
Chalfant if you have any questions,
pachalfant@ aol.com.
