The Jonathan Law Keyettes are hosting a fundraiser to raise money for blankets that they will then donate to Brady’s Smile, a charity aimed at helping children with special circumstances.

To compel peers to donate, the Keyettes have teacher volunteers who are willing to be pied in the face for the cause.

“It’s special because what were doing in our small club is having a positive impact on multiple kids and families,” Keyettes treasurer Ciara Boyd said.

This is the first time the club is pieing teachers in the face to raise money, but the Keyettes have donated to blankets to Brady’s Smile in the past.

The club’s goal is to raise at least $120 to buy fabrics for blankets. Blankets are one of the charity’s most requested items along with gift cards and food items.

“Doing charity events is a great way to give back to the community, and I know it makes a difference in people’s lives,” Keyettes vice president Priya Gupta said.

These blankets are given to patients as individual gifts that are tied in a ribbon with a note from Brady’s Smile. 

The Law staff members that have been nominated to be pied are Mrs. Loch, Mr. Zuraw, Mr. Hoggatt, Mrs. Jones, and Mr. Roumeles.

“I’m doing this because it’s a good cause and I know many students who really want to pie me in the face,” Zuraw said.

The pieing will be done to the teacher with the most money donated to their bucket in the cafe during lunch. It will be streamed on Eagle Eye News live sometime in the next week or two.

“This idea can give some students inspiration to donate, helping us raise more money for Brady Smile,” Keyettes president Mikaela Bravo said.

The Keyettes plan to continue raising money for blankets to give to the Brady’s Smile Foundation annually.
