Moore Walk-A-Thon

Over the last four (4) years, Moore Elementary School has held a Walk-A-Thon for the Lauren's Hope Foundation.  The walk, coinciding with a sponsorship program, raises awareness of brain injuries suffered by children, and helps financially support programs and equipment for local children who suffered a traumatic brain injury and their families.  

Lauren's Hope Foundation is a locally-developed foundation, and has direct ties to Moore Elementary School through Lauren's family (her brother and sister attend Moore Elementary).  We are very honored to be an active member in helping support Lauren's Hope, and look to continue this partnership in years to come.  Through our previous Walks, we've been able to help support a "cooling cap" system at the Lehigh Valley Hospital's Pediatric Care Unit.

The students and staff at Moore Elementary School participated in their Walk-A-Thon on Thursday, April 25th...and we are very excited to announce that the school raised $3,050.50 in sponsorships and donations this year!  We want to thank everyone who participated in the event.  Congratulations to our students and staff, as well as the families who supported everyone!
