Ways DCHS students and area Churches and etc can help support Matthew Millsaps and Sharon Bennett Millsaps and family and have fun Baby Picture Contest — Ask your teachers for a copy of their baby picture. Display the pictures so that students can buy guesses for a quarter a piece over a couple of weeks. Prizes can be solicited from local businesses. All correct guesses can be put into a barrel for a drawing for a prize. “Get out of class Jar — Teachers have a donation jar that must be contributed to if one wishes to leave the class for personal reasons like the restroom. Balloon Day — Students take orders in advance to deliver balloons with a message attached. The balloons are then delivered on a specific date. Lifesavers — Sell Lifesaver rolls for a donation and tell the purchaser that they are “lifesavers” since their donation will go toward American Cancer Society research. Hat (or Cap) Day — For a specified donation, with permission from the principal, students can wear a baseball cap to school for the day. All donations go to Relay. Think outside the box: collect hats at the end of the day and donate them to camps for kids with cancer. Paper Chain —Make paper links in several colors. Sell links that will go toward making a chain for 10 cents each. Make it a competition by selling each class a different color link. The class that makes the longest chain wins. Bring the chain and donations to Relay! “Run Smith, Run” — A willing teacher at school issues a challenge to their class (or if they are really brave, the student body) to bring in money. For every $50 dollars raised, the teacher will run one mile. Feel free to change name and dollar amount accordingly. “Quarters for a Cure”- “Quarters for a Cure” program in the schools consists of collecting empty film canisters and distributing them out to the students. They, in turn, collect $7 worth of quarters in these canisters and turn them in at bank night of the Relay. Dance for a Cure: Hold a dance at your school with all proceeds going to the Relay For Life. Have admission be $5.00 per person. Decorate with purple streamers and balloons. Give out Relay goodies as door prizes. Caught on Tape: The school principal or popular teacher allows students to tape him/her to the wall to raise money for Relay. The Relay team sells strips of duct tape and the students take turns taping the staff member to the wall.
