Led by Clearview Juniors Grace Calhoun, Lily Pedersen, and Rachael Williams, Smiles4Cures is partnering with the Retired Police Officers Charity Organization to collect clothing, shoes, linens, towels, stuffed animals, and accessories such as purses and belts. These items will be donated to those in need or recycled. With every pound collected, a monetary donation will be made to the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society.

Bagged donations can be dropped off on Friday, March 14, from 5:30 PM – 7:30 PM at William Wilt Soccer Complex. If you can’t make it to the drop-off, pickup arrangements can be made by emailing smiles4cures24@gmail.com before March 14.

PLUS, everyone’s favorite, Kona’s Water Ice, will be joining us! 25% of their proceeds will be donated to the Smiles4Cures team in support of the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society!

About Smiles4Cures

Smiles4Cures, led by Grace Calhoun, Lily Pedersen, and Rachael Williams, juniors at Clearview High School, is participating in The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society’s Student Visionaries of the Year program. This prestigious seven-week national philanthropic competition empowers high school leaders to make a meaningful impact in the fight against blood cancers. By leveraging their leadership skills and community resources, students run independent fundraising campaigns.

Smiles4Cures has set an ambitious goal of raising $50,000 between January 22 and March 15, 2025, through donations, events, corporate partnerships, and personal outreach. The team is incredibly grateful for the support received from local businesses and the broader community, recognizing that this collective effort is driving real change in the fight against blood cancers.
