LINCOLN

Congratulations to the students of Lincoln Community High School who make up the 2017-18 RailerThon. These students had a goal to raise $15,000 this year and they exceeded that goal by a long shot. Yesterday they presented HSHS St. John’s Children’s Hospital with a check for $25,000.

Congratulations again to these awesome young people who dedicated countless hours in a variety of ways through the many fundraising efforts it took to raise this money. These students are making a difference in the lives of others and it’s no doubt they will continue to do so in the future.

According to the RailerThon website, RailerThon is a year-long nonprofit fundraising organization comprised of a group of students who work throughout the year to raise awareness and funds for St. John’s Children’s Hospital in Springfield. The group began as a part of The Miracle Network Dance Marathon (the parent organization of RailerThon), a movement benefiting Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals.
