ConKerr Cancer Event

The Rachel's Challenge Chain Links Club from Van Hoosen middle school organized their 2nd annual Conkerr Cancer pillowcase making event and sewed over 130 pillowcases. Claire Kruse, Media Specialist, discovered Conkerr Cancer and immediately wanted to coordinate such an event. "I love to sew and thought this would be a great way to introduce the kids to sewing and give back to our community at the same time", said Ms. Kruse. The mission of Conkerr Cancer is to help children feel special while battling life changing illnesses. They have recruited thousands of volunteers to sew and donate over 300,000 cheerful pillowcases to sick children in hospitals across the country.  The club challenged their classmates to make 100 pillow cases. Parents, students and faculty overwhelmingly supported the clubs efforts by donating fabric and volunteering their time. With twelve sewing machines buzzing, the Van Hoosen Media Center was transformed in to a pillowcase factory. Past, present and future students started with fabric pieces and managed to cut, sew, and press their fabric into cheery masterpieces!  For more information on Conkerr Cancer visit www.conkerrcancer.org
