This past Friday, Amy Reese, the Academy's Activities Coordinator shared with the Cadet Corps a presentation about the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society and our Penny War fundraiser, along with the results of the fundraising project. The lofty goal this year was to raise $3,000 for this cause, and our cadets blew that target out of the water. Mrs. Reese proudly reported that Fork Union Military Academy raised $4,654.07 for LLS this year!
Bravo Company won the Penny War by collecting $1,434.77. Charlie Company was a very close second place collecting $1,421.55 (just $13.22 separated 1st and 2nd place).
"A huge part of our success this year was due to our cadets' efforts and the online donations we received from cadet family members," said Mrs. Reese. "Our cadets and their families are truly amazing!"
