Harriton’s own Mandy DiJacklin has started an art supply drive for her senior project in coordination with Philadelphia’s Lucy Belle’s Rainbow organization.

The Organization was started in honor of Lucy Belle Perkins, a thirteen-year-old at Bala Cynwyd Middle who was diagnosed with stage IV brain cancer and passed away in 2014. Lucy Belle was very passionate about art as a child, so the Lucy Belle Rainbow Organization sends art supplies to children at CHOP. The bags it sends also come with toys, books, games, iTunes gift cards, and handmade cards. The Organization works with multiple schools in the Lower Merion School District and School Specialty. The Lucy Belle’s Rainbow organization has raised $80,000 for cancer research and continues to brighten the day of kids in need.

Art supplies can be submitted in advisory until May 23.
