Going Pink In A Big Way

20131015_191122_resizedSouth Milwaukee’s commitment to breast cancer awareness and research continues to amaze.

At Tuesday’s city council meeting, South Milwaukee school leaders and students presented checks totalling nearly $9,000 for the Susan G. Komen Justice for a Cure campaign. That includes $8,279 raised through the high and middle schools, $226.86 from Lakeview Elementary and $400.11 from Rawson Elementary. T-shirt sales alone — both through the schools and the South Milwaukee Fire Department — topped $7,000.

Thanks to Police Chief Ann Wellens, the DECA marketing class at the high school and other local and school officials for leading this effort. It’s great to see South Milwaukee continue to get behind worthy causes like this.

Going Pink Again In South Milwaukee

Thanks to a partnership between the South Milwaukee School District and the South Milwaukee Police Department, the city is going pink on Oct. 15. The goal: Raise money for breast cancer awareness and to help find a cure.

South Milwaukee High School has some cool-looking t-shirts for sale, with proceeds going to the Justice for the Cure Foundation. Here is the flyer, and here is more information on NOW.

T-shirt order forms are also available from Parkway Floral.

Let’s hope we can beat last year’s total!

Going Pink Raises Big Green

South Milwaukee raised $7,142.91 as part of its “Going Pink” efforts to benefit the Susan G. Komen Foundation.

You’ll recall the effort included the sale of specially designed t-shirts and other activities across the city and school district spearheaded by South Milwaukee students, Police Chief Ann Wellens and others.

Congratulations on the success, and thanks to everyone who played a role in this!

The money raised this year is almost twice as much as what was raised in 2010.
