St. Vincent’s Academy students, through their second annual White the Night event, raised nearly $2,000 to help in an exercise program for lung cancer patients. Students at St. Vincent’s played a fundraising basketball game against Long County to raise money for the cause through all admissions, as well as T-shirt sales and donations.
The check was presented to the Candler Foundation on Wednesday in the school courtyard on the corner of Lincoln and Harris streets. Cindy Johnson, who received the check, is a cancer survivor and the mother of Justin Johnson, a teacher at St. Vincent’s.
