Bring Cheer to a Child Fundraiser

The Fourth Annual Bring Cheer to a Child will feature all seven of District 202's middle school cheerleading sqads.

The event will take place at Plainfield South's main gym.

Cheerleading squads from Aux Sable, Drauden Point, Heritage Grove, Indian Trail, Ira Jones, John F. Kennedy and Timber Ridge middle schools will perform holiday routines.

Attendees  should bring an unwrapped toy to donate in lieu of admission costs. Toys will go to the Mark Staehely Toy Drive.

Staehely began the toy drive 11 years ago, when he was 12 years old and recovering from neuroblastoma, a pediatric cancer.

Toys will be donated to patients at Children's Memorial Hospital. Each child hospitalized over the holidays will receive a present.

Toys will also be accepted at each D. 202 middle school leading up to the fundraiser.
