During the week of March 28- April 1 Davis Elementary will be participating in a series of fundraisers to benefit the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation (CFF).
Cystic fibrosis (CF) is an inherited chronic disease that affects the lungs and digestive system of about 30,000 children and adults in the United States (70,000 worldwide). A defective gene and its protein product cause the body to produce unusually thick, sticky mucus that: clogs the lungs and leads to life-threatening lung infections; and obstructs the pancreas and stops natural enzymes from helping the body break down and absorb food.
During CF Week we will be running 4 fundraisers-
1.) We will be selling CF Awareness Bracelets for $2 every morning outside the gym
2.) We will be selling hat passes for $1 on Tuesday and Thursday outside the gym
3.) We will be participating in a Jar Wars competition. Jar Wars is a class vs class competition to see who can bring in the most of a certain denomination of money for their class’s CF Jar. The schedule for Jar Wars is as follows- Monday= pennies, Tuesday= nickels, Wednesday= dimes, Thursday= quarters, and Friday= dollars (and checks, to be made out to The CFF)
4.) Wednesday, March 30th visit Cloud 9 Frozen Yogurt and Cupcakes (1195 Woodstock Road, Roswell), and tell them you are from Davis Elementary. If you do 10% of your purchase will go to our CFF fundraiser.
All Money raised will go to benefit the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation. Please help out in any way you can! We will also be searching for volunteers to help count the money collected each day. To volunteer or for more information please contact Coach Jones via email: bryan.jones@cobbk12.org
