Fourth-grader Sadie Wyzen-Gregory initiated a class fundraiser for James’ Par for the Harbor, a family-founded organization dedicated to raising money for the Metabolism Department at Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia. Their goal is to help families of children with rare metabolic disorders. The founders, James and Lauren Agzigian, visited ACS on May 31 and shared with Mrs. Jackson’s fourth-grade students that they started the organization because their son and Sadie’s cousin, James, has a metabolic disorder. They aim to provide financial assistance to families facing similar challenges.

Mrs. Jackson’s class raised $325.74 for James’ Par for the Harbor. As a thank-you gift, the organization gave each student a shirt. Great job, Sadie, for initiating this fundraiser and raising awareness for this important cause! For more information about James’ Par for the Harbor, pls. visit https://parfortheharbor.com/
