Saint Bridget In Framingham Gives Big To Breast Cancer Nonprofit

FRAMINGHAM, MA — A fundraising effort by students at Saint Bridget School in Framingham culminated in a check presentation this week to a breast cancer nonprofit.

Students and members of the school community raised over $1,000 at an October “Pink Day” event. On Wednesday, the Saint Bridget Student Council presented the nonprofit Ellie Fund with the proceeds.

The Ellie Fund funds support services for patients receiving care for cancer. The school's $1,000.03 donation will help four local families pay for groceries, utilities and car expenses during treatment, according to Ellie Fund development assistant Kellie Light.

"What an incredible way to give back to our community — and we have a new goal to beat for next year! THANK YOU to everyone who supported this wonderful organization!" Saint Bridget said in a social media post following the check presentation.
