Nutley High Student Wants You To ‘Fight Cancer With Kisses’

NUTLEY, NJ — A Nutley High School student has launched a unique way of raising money for cancer research: “Kisses For Cancer.”

Nutley school officials spread the word about junior Charlie Williamson’s fundraising campaign on Monday, which was created in the NHS marketing class.

The campaign, which has a hashtag of #kissesforcancer, can be seen online here.

The fundraiser’s description states:

“For this fundraiser we are making it into a social media challenge taken place on Instagram, Facebook, and Twitter. Where people of all ages will post pictures or videos of them kissing or being kissed on the cheek or wherever your heart desires, and then challenging three (or more) of their friends, family, or strangers to spread the love. Now let’s kill cancer with kindness!”

As of Monday, the campaign has raised more than $1,500.
