Middle School Students Help Area Cancer Patients

 WISCONSIN RAPIDS – Wisconsin Rapids middle school students are putting the fun in fundraising.

Recently, students from Wisconsin Rapids Area Middle School (WRAMS) held a variety of fundraisers to help area cancer patients, including a penny war, a carnival, and lunchtime games. The students who organized and participated in the fundraisers are true role models, giving their free time to plan, coordinate, and staff the activities.

On May 9, Ms. Abby Kreisa and some of her students who were instrumental in the efforts delivered a $1,000 donation to Aspirus Riverview Foundation’s Cancer Patient Fund. The fund helps local patients with financial needs they may experience while receiving their cancer treatment at Aspirus Cancer Center-Wisconsin Rapids.

Aspirus Riverview Foundation strives to support community-based efforts that align with improving the community's greatest health and wellness needs. If you wish to make a difference in the health and wellness of our local community, visit aspirus.org/aspirus-riverview-foundation or call the foundation office at 715-421-7488.
