SAVANNAH -- September is National Childhood Cancer Awareness Month, and a group of Savannah-area high school students has been named to CURE Childhood Cancer’s CURE Crew Teen Council to help build awareness and raise funds for the cause.

The CURE Crew met recently at the offices of Thomas & Hutton in Savannah to kick off their year of activities and to show their support for “Fighting today for their tomorrows,” CURE’s September campaign to highlight the fight against childhood cancer. (Group photo attached.)

The purpose of CURE Crew is to offer high school juniors and seniors the opportunity to support CURE Childhood Cancer through fundraising and advocacy. Students benefit by earning community service hours and by engaging in fundraising and service opportunities that will provide them with meaningful life skills and compassion for an underserved population. At the same time, CURE benefits by having students in the community sharing CURE’s mission and vision.
