Rosemere Launches 2012 Valentine’s Appeal
Published on Monday, 09 January 2012
Pupils at Moor Park High School in Preston have helped to launch Rosemere Cancer Foundation’s annual Valentine’s fundraising Appeal. 30 pupils from Year 7 formed a massive heart shape to represent the Valentine’s Logo whilst being photographed for the launch.
This annual fundraising appeal aims to boost funds for projects that will make a real difference to cancer patients being treated across Lancashire and South Cumbria by raising over £20,000.
