In March, during a school assembly, Super Cooper's Little Red Wagon Foundation approached the students and staff of Mary Scroggs Elementary School in Chapel Hill, NC with a challenge. Eric Montross (a dear friend of the foundation and basketball star), along with Rameses(UNC's mascot), asked the children to wear their P.J.'s to school on March 23, 2011. Eric helped the students to understand that not only is it fun to wear P.J.'s to school, but it is also an awesome way to show support for children with cancer and their families. The Scroggs' student council graciously agreed to collect donations for our foundation on the morning of P.J. day.
We were blown away by Scroggs' response! Over 98% of the students, wore their P.J.s and a check for $3,099 was presented to Elise (Cooper's mom) for the foundation to continue it's mission. Super Cooper's Little Red Wagon Foundation thanked the students and staff with a school wide ice cream social. We hope to make this an annual event! Thank you Scroggs' students, staff, and families!
