On November 21, 2011, the Bishop Kearney Key Club had their annual “Pink Passion” dress down.  Students were allowed to dress in pink for $3.00 and in normal dress down for $5.00, with all of the money benefiting the Breast Cancer Coalition of Rochester.  There was an outstanding amount of students who participated, and it was very sobering to see how many people care about finding a cure.

Not only did the Key Club raise money from the dress down, but they also did so through a bake sale.  Students could buy cupcakes and cookies for a dollar, and each dollar was eventually added to the final calculation of what had been raised.  With a grand total of $1,107.02 raised, the Bishop Kearney Key Club has much to be proud of.  And as a school, pride should also come from the fact that students donated over ten per cent more than they had in the previous year. The money will be presented in the form of a check to a representative from the Breast Cancer Coalition of Rochester during a December 8^th mass in the Bishop Kearney auditorium.

The Breast Cancer Committee of Key Club really pulled through and made a wonderful event to support an important cause. Special thanks goes to the Kearney family for dressing in pink in a defiant stand to end breast cancer!
