WHY? To be “good cookies” and help children fighting cancer.

All money raised will be donated to Cookies for Kids’ Cancer, a national 501(c)3 non-profit, committed to raising funds for research to develop new, improved, and less toxic treatments for pediatric cancer — the #1 disease killer of children in the U.S.

Our Goal: Last year we raised over $3000! Our 2024 goal is to meet or exceed $3000.

Lord Botetourt High School has participated in a Cookies for Kids’ Cancer fundraiser since 2008, the year the non-profit was formed. We are original “Good Cookies” and we have raised thousands of dollars over the years to help fight pediatric cancer!
