Richland High School’s Key Club raised $2,500 to benefit the Joyce Murtha Breast Care Center (JMBCC) in October during their Pink Out Campaign. They raised the money selling t-shirts and sweatshirts, designed by a 10th grade student, at school and football games. Additionally, during their Pink Out football game on October 27, they collected donations, sold pink items, and chanced off baskets.
Since 2010, the Key Club has generously raised more than $18,500, which helps fund Pink Ribbon Care, a program that provides assistance for patients who are unable to pay for breast-related health services – including mammograms, follow-up diagnostic services, and genetic counseling.
