High School Students Raise Funds for Haiti and Japan

Two groups of high school students organized successful fundraisers this weekend and shared photos with Scarsdale 10583.com. On Saturday Marcy 19 the SHS for Haiti Club, headed by Chloe Kaufman organized a Soul Cycle ride to raise money for AFYA to assist earthquake victims. The room was filled with teen riders who raised awareness about events in Haiti as well as $1,500 for AFYA.

SHS for Haiti will continue to support AFYA by collecting sports bras for Haitian women. Due to the earthquake, many women have wounds and Danielle Butin of AFYA has noticed that sport bras are better support than bandages. If you wish to contribute, collection boxes for the sports bras are on hand at Soul Cycle.

Also on Saturday morning, the Scarsdale High School track team organized a Run for Japan to support the Red Cross relief efforts. There was a terrific turnout and the bake sale alone raised $2,000. The team is still counting up the funds received from sponsors and is hopeful that all told they raised $20,000.
