In the month of February student council is all about charity. They are supporting three organizations by collecting money in cans in a fundraiser known as “pennies for patients.” The fundraiser specifically caters to leukemia and lymphoma but assists with other charities as well.

“I think it’s a good thing for these three charities and the events to participate as a council,” student council sponsor, Julie Masters said.

This week student council will be putting all the money collected this week toward the Asthma Walk at Sea World tomorrow Feb. 19. Then the next week they will turn in collections towards the Tower Climb downtown at the Tower of Americas, and at the end on the month everything collected after the  two events will go against the actual organization,“pennies for patients.”

“I think that it’s a really good good fundraiser and it’s nice to help people who are in need,” student council’s spiritual director, Eileen Pastano, said.
