BPS is partnering with Liam's Village for this fundraising event. "Liam's Village" is an organization founded by Ms. Lissette Montalvo, a School 8 parent. Thankfully, her son was able to ring the bell at Memorial Sloan-Kettering (MSK) on July 19th and celebrate the end of his treatment plan.
To help other families who may face a fight against childhood cancer, Ms. Montalvo is planning a "Childhood Cancer Awareness Walk" in September, designated as "Childhood Cancer Month" in conjunction with Belleville Public Schools.
The monies raised at this event will be shared evenly with MSK and the American Cancer Society.
