Babylon High's DECA Club Holds Car Wash For Breast Cancer Awareness Month

Event raised about $250 earlier this month.

In commemoration of Breast Cancer Awareness Month, Babylon High School’s DECA club coordinated their annual charity car wash earlier this October.

The event raised approximately $250 for the Babylon Breast Cancer Coalition. These donations will aid in the BBCC’s work to provide patient support services, education and advocacy programs, as well as the American Cancer Society’s fight against cancer.

Throughout the month, the school coordinated additional fundraisers and awareness campaign events for the cause. The staff took part in a jeans day (participants made donations to wear jeans to school) and the senior high school student council organized an evening Breast Cancer Awareness walk.
