A long-time charity initiative is asking Mt. Pleasant residents to “put on their rally caps” today to help reach a fundraising goal.
Miles for Miracles is a Mt. Pleasant schools initiative that raises funds for local cancer support organizations like Woodland Hospice, Community Cancer Services, Morey Cancer Center, ACS, and the Angels Wings Fund.
The student-driven fundraising culminates in a community walk and ceremony at Mt. Pleasant Middle School.
This morning, the effort is about $2,000 short of a $10,000 goal, said Julie Maxon, the teacher in charge of the effort.
Donations can be dropped off today at MPMS, the WCFX studio in Mt. Pleasant or at Level 7 Salon.
Community members are invited to participate in tomorrow’s walk and ceremony.
