ICS students were invited to step out of uniform and into pink to express their support. In just one day students raised $1424 that was donated to Hunterdon Medical Cancer Center. Christina O'Malley, Senior Vice President of Hunterdon Healthcare Foundation, was presented a check at ICS Morning Gathering on Wednesday November 23 for all students grades 1-8 to see. ICS Student Council President Jeffrey Lance commented, "I am very proud to represent the students who helped raise money for Breast Cancer Awareness. I thank everyone who participated in the fun- draiser, mostly because we broke our expectations by raising over $1,400 – that's impressive. The money we raised is going to a great cause and I hope it makes a difference in Breast Cancer research."
