Every year the staff of SMLCS decides on which worthy cause we would like to support and take part in raising funds for, this year we have decided to raise funds for the Oliver Patch Project (OPP).

Oliver Burkhardt (and his brother Peter) are both alumnus of SMLCS and this cause is so very close to our hearts. Oliver, now in remission 😊, was diagnosed with Leukemia in 2020 and in response to the love and support they received from others they started the Oliver Patch Project (OPP). The Oliver Patch Project is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit corporation whose mission is to create a fun, engaging platform where children with childhood cancers and their families can connect through a series of unique patches created by artists and designers just for them.  They have over 1000 children and teens in their Warrior Garment Program and have provided over 35,000 patches of love and support to kids in all 50 states!

These patches empower kids to find their inner warriors. OPP is supported by donations and all the fun is provided to the Warriors 100% free of charge.

Our Spirit Week will be March 4th-8th and it is a week full of fun and wacky activities.   Below is a day-to-day schedule of the activities planned. We ask for a minimum donation of $15 per child.   It would be so great to have all our SMLCS children participate and achieve 100% participation.  Please feel free to donate below…every penny makes a difference. 

Let’s support OPP with their mission … let’s come together and help send a little sunshine to the children who need it most.

Thank you! :)
