For the second year in a row, Camelback Desert Schools in Paradise Valley teamed up and organized a most unique event called "Buck-A-Tee & Lap-A-Thon Day" to bring about awareness for the breast cancer cause. On Wednesday, April 23rd, all students from all grades participated by paying a dollar (or donating any amount they wished) to wear any tee shirt of their choice to school that day all to support breast cancer awareness!

Then the entire school stepped up as they also participated in a "Lap-A-Thon" to raise money for the cause. Each student asked close friends and family members to make a per-lap pledge for every lap they walked or ran around the soccer field. This year, many of the kids ran over 40 laps, an all time record!

All the teachers wore pink to show their support.

It was a wonderful way for the children at this school to show their support as many of them know how breast cancer can affect an entire family. Thank you CDS!
