===I have to brag on the WINGS kids at Bartlett Grade School....they are all very caring and creative, and the "Erase Cancer" movement is just one example of both of these qualities! Some of the students were meeting in the library, talking about someone in the community they all know that had brain cancer. The conversation evolved to them deciding to do something to erase cancer, by raising money for research and by raising awareness about healthy lifestyles. ===

===In the late spring of 2011, they made informational posters about preventing skin and lung cancer and handed out booklets with more information, after finding out that skin and lung cancer are responsible for a lot of cases of cancer and even death in Kansas. They also sold t-shirts with the "Erase Cancer" logo on them, deciding to give half of the profits to the University of Kansas Cancer Center and half to the Johnson Center for Basic Cancer Research at Kansas State University. They raised $274.40 in profit, with $137.20 going to each university's cancer center! ===

===For the 2011-12 school year, they have even greater plans to raise research funds, visit research centers, and spread the "Erase Cancer" movement to schools across Kansas and all around the United States. ===
