Mamaroneck Ave. School third grade class raises money for PCF
The students decided to collect 1000 bottles and cans, recycle them and donate the proceeds to Pediatric Cancer Foundation.
2nd Annual PCF Bowlathon
Eric Greenberg Goldy, with his sister Taylor and mother Roberta Greenberg, went to visit Dr. William Carroll at Hassenfeld Center at NYU. They had a tour of the facility to learn how funds were used at the center because both kids have run fundraisers for PCF; Dr. Carroll's project receives funding from PCF. The current project that the Greenberg Goldy family is involved with is an annual Bowling Event.

PCF congratulates The Greenburgh Hebrew Center Nursery School who held their annual Trike-A-Thon for Pediatric Cancer Foundation on Wednesday, Feb. 11. The children, who are 2, 3 and 4 years old, rode around an indoor track set up in the synagogue's atrium and did as many laps as they could in the time alotted. Some children did more than 80 laps! The children were very excited to help sick children and understood the importance of their "mission". They were rewarded with praise, mitzvah leaves on a "good deed" tree, and the satisfaction of doing good for someone else. All monies collected will go directly to the Pediatric Cancer Foundation.
