Englewood Cliffs Preschoolers Help Make Cancer Patients' Lives Super

ENGLEWOOD CLIFFS, NJ — Preschoolers at The Learning Experience created and donated superhero capes to local pediatric cancer patients.

The Capes for a Cause program is part of the company's effort to help students develop character and get them involved in the community.

The capes will be given to patients in Hackensack and Englewood.

"Brave, strong, and resilient — words we would use to describe our favorite superheroes — are also words fit to describe the courageous little patients who are treated in pediatric hematology and oncology centers every day," said owner Dilek Yesilyurt. "We are so excited to share this project with our students and to help cheer up the patients at Hackensack with their new capes."
