P.S. 264 ‘Lights Up Brooklyn’ to raise money and awareness for cancer
A local school pays tribute to those that have fallen to or survived cancer.
On Tuesday, December 5, P.S. 264, the Bay Ridge Elementary School for the Arts, 371 89th Street, held its second annual Light Up Brooklyn ceremony, which raises funds and awareness for Relay for Life, the signature fundraiser for the American Cancer Society.
Students, parents and faculty gathered inside the school’s gymnasium to light up luminaria bags they purchased using glow sticks. Each bag had its own inspirational message written on it by students.
