Coyotes have great day for Rankin cancer fundraiser

Crossroads Coyotes laced up for a hugely successful Rankin Cancer Run last Thursday . . . and what a day it was!

Students and staff collected donations for the month of May and by Tuesday had totalled more than $13,000, with more donations coming in.

In addition to supporting an extremely important organization in Niagara, students had a great afternoon organized by the staff and Grade 8 students.

After students finished their run or walk, they were able to play games led by intermediate students, participate in impromptu karaoke and dancing, have their face painted, and write messages of hope,
inspiration, and gratitude in sidewalk chalk all over the tarmac.

The day was a joyful event that brought everyone together outside for the first time in years! Students and staff were also fortunate to wear a Rankin Cancer Run T-shirt designed by our very own Grade 3 Coyote, Olivia Rapone.

While the event itself only lasted a few hours, the impact of working together to support  such an important cause will last
for years to come. We couldn’t be more proud of our Coyotes!
