Maryvale student team joins high school challenge to raise funds for Leukemia Lymphoma Society - Baltimore Sun

Maryvale student team joins high school challenge to raise funds for Leukemia Lymphoma Society - Baltimore Sun: "Finksburg resident Brooke Nixon has six weeks to raise $10,000 and she's rounded up a team of fellow Maryvale Preparatory School freshmen to help her do it.


The proceeds from their restaurant days at Chick-fil-A and Panera Bread, a swimathon and selling care packages to Maryvale students during exam week will go to a good cause.

They're raising the money for the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society."
