Terrance Stanley "Terry" Fox, was a Canadian humanitarian, athlete, and cancer research activist. In 1980, with one leg having been amputated, he embarked on a cross-Canada run to raise money and awareness for cancer research.In 2011 Harkins Middle raised close to $2000 for the Terry Fox Foundation and its funding of cancer research in Canada.    During the next 5 days, please support the Terry Fox fundraising activities that will be held by Harkins teams.  Through your fundraising contributions and participation in our Terry Fox Run Day, we can remember and support Canadians living with cancer.  This year, let’s beat our 2011 donation and be proud knowing that Harkins Middle School is taking part in helping find cures for cancer.Here's what is going on so far...• The Green team will have Hat Day on Friday.  Pay $1 for a sticker and wear your hat at school!• The Orange team is selling tickets on an awesome entertainment basket (movie money, treats, popcorn, nibs, walmart gift card etc.)1.00 each.  They will be selling tickets at lunch in the cafeteria.  The draw will be Thursday, Sept 27th.
