The Final Results: March For A Cure Challenge - 2017

LYS Nation, you outdid yourself!  Your challenge was to visit classrooms to beat cancer, and you really stepped up.  In March, individually you visited a total of 16,469 classrooms (exceeding last year’s total by 4,504), which equates to a donation of $823.45

Then five LYSers met the 200 PowerWalks Challenge, which adds another $50.00 to the donation.

As for campuses, the following 16 schools made the March Cancer Fightin’ PowerWalks Hero list.
