Girl Scout of the Week

Kaelyn is a Brownie with a passion and she is our Girl Scout of the Week!  She recently brought nearly fifty pounds of pennies to donate to Pennies for Patients; a campaign that supports individuals with leukemia and lymphoma (blood cancers).  "I'm so proud of her", said her Mom.  "She did this all by herslelf".  As Kaelyn called her family members and friends to inform them about the cookie sales, she also told them to bring her pennies. 

Not too long ago, a family member close to Kaelyn, was diagnosed with cancer.  This motivated Kaelyn to make this cause a priority.  Statistics state that 1 in 75 men and women will be diagnosed with leukemia during their lifetime.  With the help of Kaelyn, Troop #3027 is doing their part to support those that have been affected by this disease.
