Jonathan Law will be starting a Law Nation Donation Day to focus on raising funds for a charity once a month.

Since September is Childhood Cancer Awareness Month, their first donation was to Alex’s Lemonade Stand. Donations could have been given during advisory on September 29, but for those who were too late to donate, they can search up the website and donate there. 

“It’s something new that we are doing to foster interactions in the school community while supporting great causes,” senior School Spirit Committee member Maia Schwing said. 

The Law community is coming together so they can support other communities and make a difference in other’s lives. Students are able to learn what it means to be a Lawman by participating in these charity events.

School Spirit Committee advisor Ms. Russell is the founder of the idea and the one who made this monthly fundraiser.

“We are hoping to be able to raise money for local charities that have special meanings for the law community,” Russell said.

Holding these charities can touch the hearts of students and their families.

Each charity fundraiser will be held in a different way. 

“Not only do students get to dress up in different fun and exciting themes, but they are also able to do something good and give a donation,” Schwing said.

In addition to the Law community coming together, they also get to have fun doing so. They can contribute and say they helped for a great cause and have more than one reason as to why they are happy they did. 

“I am also a huge supporter of leaving the opportunity open for students to submit causes that they want to help out,” Schwing said. “Overall, the Law Nation Donation Days are something that I am so thankful to be a part of.”

Students are able to suggest certain charities they would like to donate to. 

Jonathan Law’s sport teams will also play a major contribution in the process. 

“Our team thinks this is a great idea and is excited to help raise money for these kids,” Varsity football junior captain John Neider said. “We have done past fundraisers and raised a lot of money.”

This is not the first time the school’s sport teams have participated in charities, but it most certainly will not be their last.

“This fundraiser sticks out for us out of all the others,” Neider said. “We plan on raising as much money as we can while spreading awareness.”

Not only is the school helping by raising funds, but also by spreading the word. It is important that people know why they should donate and the significance of their help.

“This way, all students are engaged and participating in some way,” Schwing said. “Another great way that students could help out is by researching more about Alex’s Lemonade Stand and participating on their own.”
