NJ Students Raise Over $6,000 for Gift of Life Family House

The Lawerenceville School Lives Saving Lives Club

On February 20th, the Lives Saving Lives Club of The Lawrenceville School in Lawrenceville, NJ, held its 3rd Annual Organ Donor Awareness Benefit Dinner. This event is 100% promoted and planned by students who on their own provided the stringed instrument music for the affair, prepared and served the four course meal, and had a wonderful time doing it all.

The faculty advisor to the club, Arthur Thomas, is a heart recipient who shared his story at a Lawrenceville School meeting three years ago, and two students – Taylor Bloom and Mary Hopkins – now in college, decided to form a club to raise awareness and funds for organ donation. The first two years the club raised a total of $6,900, which it donated to Family House. This year, under the direction of senior co-presidents Jimin Lee and Nicole Banton, the club has raised over $6000 more, which will continue to support Gift of Life Family House.

Thanks to Lawrenceville School students for their support!
