SHA Students Raise Hundreds of Dollars for Cancer

Fundraiser's goal not only to raise money but also awareness of breast cancer.

Sacred Heart Academy freshmen Ariana Lanouette and Nneoma Obi, both of Hamden, recently presented a $500 check to the Breast Center at the Michael McGivney Cancer Center, Hospital of St. Raphael.

Shown with students are Dr. Denise Barajas, head of the Breast Center, and Dr. Joseph Cardinale, head of Radiology and Oncology.

Funds were raised by selling products at the Holly Berry Festival, where these students also provided information on breast cancer to increase awareness.
