Mars Area School District has released the results of a recent fundraiser for charity.
Mars students participating in the annual Hats for Heroes fundraiser last Friday were able to raise nearly $7,000 to benefit Susan G. Komen for the Cure.
Students in grades kindergarten through eight made a donation to the cause of breast cancer research in return for the opportunity to wear a hat in school. Students at Mars Area Elementary School raised the most followed by Mars Area Middle School students.
Mars Area School District is a Silver Level Sponsor of the Susan G. Komen Race for the Cure.
