Junior Class Walkathon to benefit Less Cancer scheduled for March 30
Foxcroft School’s Junior Class invites area residents to join them in making a difference in our world by supporting the Foxcroft Walkathon to benefit the LessCancer campaign, a program of the Next Generation Choices Foundation, on Friday, March 30. Walkers, runners and cyclists are welcome to join the five-mile trek, which starts at Brick House on the campus of the Middleburg, VA school at 3:30 p.m.
Individuals may also sponsor participants or make a donation. Tax-deductible contributions of any size are appreciated and may be mailed to Junior Class Walkathon 2012; Foxcroft School; P.O. Box 5555; Middleburg, VA 20118. They may also be given to members of the Class of 2012. Please make checks out to the Foxcroft School Walkathon.
The Foxcroft Walkathon is organized each year by the School’s Junior Class, which researches and chooses a beneficiary, elicits sponsorships from local businesses, families and friends, and conducts the walk, with help from faculty sponsors. In recent years, the event has raised thousands of dollars to build a school in Malawi, Africa (2006), support a pediatric AIDS unit in Accra, Ghana (2007), and benefit the Christopher and Dana Reeve Foundation (2008), Multiple Sclerosis Foundation (2009), American Foundation for Suicide Prevention (2010), and Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation (2011).
The 38 members of this year’s Junior Class chose to benefit the LessCancer campaign of the Next Generation Choices Foundation because virtually all members of the Foxcroft community and their families have been directly affected by this disease in one of its many forms. The LessCancer campaign educates and provides information centered on evidence- based science for reducing health and environmental risks associated with cancer.
Since its inception the organization has been focused on having prevention be part of the cancer conversation with a focus on decreasing the rising incidences of this terrible disease. Please join our students in support of this program whose mission is quite simply, “a world with less cancer.”
