In addition to the walk-a-thon, other fundraisers are planned. Grover Middle School and the high school chapters are having a car wash at the Mobil gas station on Saturday, April 22. The high school chapter is having a bake sale on Saturday, April 29, at Acme.
Three years ago Alexandra Olgin of West Windsor founded a Grover Middle School chapter of Kids-for-Kids. Alexandra is now active in the high school chapter, and her sister, Danielle, a seventh grader at Grover, is now leading the Grover chapter. The Kids-for-Kids of West Windsor-Plainsboro High School chapter is led by seniors Jen Lee and Miki Leong.
Although Kids-for-Kids is a student-based organization, it is seeking volunteers of all ages who wish to become involved in the planning of the walk-a-thon. Walkers solicit sponsors prior to the walk with checks payable to Kids-for-Kids.
