ISF INTERN CLASS of 2021: WEEK 2 UPDATE 💲2️⃣9️⃣,6️⃣4️⃣4️⃣
ISF Summer Intern Program powered by OrthoCarolina. Motivation Ortho tip of the week: Get up and move! Make a point to stand up or take a short walk every 45 minutes to get your blood flowing. Prioritizing movement throughout your day will keep your body, heart & mind healthy.
Our Intern teams had another successful week and continue to raise money and awareness for rare pediatric cancer. They are ready to start another busy week, with more fun challenges to creatively work through as teams. Quite a few volunteers have shown impressive initiative with out-of-the-box fundraising ideas. Our interns have also enjoyed spreading the word about ISF and upcoming events through fun Tik Tok challenges. Check us out on Tik Tok @theisfoundation!
Yesterday was an incredibly special day as we celebrated Isabella’s life with a $500,000 gift to Levine Children’s in her honor. Isabella inspires us every day and we love seeing her inspire these students too. Thank you to all our interns who shared all about Isabella yesterday, we absolutely loved seeing her news everywhere. We were also thrilled to have the Plummer’s join us to share their daughter’s rhabdomyosarcoma journey. Merritt is currently cancer-free and doing so well and her parents wanted to share with the interns how important their work is this summer and thank them for choosing to make a difference. Merritt’s story is exactly what our program is helping kids do… beat cancer, grow their hair, and live their dreams.
Intern lead Ryan Brouse & the Gold Ribbon Gladiators pulled forward in a significant lead in week 2 coming in first with $5,927 raised. Kate Cheek & the Cure Chasers came in 2nd raising $4,856. We are so proud of our teams for raising almost $30,000 in just the first 2 weeks of the program’s start. We know even more great things are coming the rest of the summer. We can’t wait to see what else our teams will bring to the table in the fight against pediatric cancer.
