Harborfields Students Donate To Breast Cancer Research Foundation

GREENLAWN, NY — Harborfields High School’s 10th grade Student Government members donated $1,500 to the Breast Cancer Research Foundation in honor of Breast Cancer Awareness Month, which was in October, the district announced Thursday.

The team worked to design and sell children’s and adult-sized t-shirts, long-sleeved shirts and sweatshirts across the district’s schools, raising breast cancer awareness and a sense of community.

"I think it’s something that is really impactful especially because there is so little we can do in this time, and it’s so strange that we can’t be together and gather," Student Government President Nahrahel Louis said. "We thought that this would be a great way to bring the community spirit back by collectively coming together and supporting this one thing. It has truly been a team effort."

Members of the Student Government also planned and executed districtwide "Pink Day[s]" on Nov. 12 and 13. Students, faculty and staff wore their new apparel in solidarity.
