SCRANTON, PA – St. Nicholas St. Mary’s School National Junior Honor Society students presented the Cancer Institute with a $900 check from their fundraising efforts.  

Students paid $3 for a dress down day and $1 to purchase various cancer ribbons to wear during the day to show support for someone affected by that type of cancer. Additional donations were accepted to support the Northeast Regional Cancer Institute. It was important to the students to donate locally.
