Wednesday, December 20th – Grinchy Grinch Dress Down for $1

Dress out of uniform in your favorite Christmas look! Festive Christmas sweaters, shirts OR your favorite green Grinch inspired outfit!

This $1 dress down day will benefit families with children at Oishei Children’s Hospital. Liam Lynch, the cousin of two DeSales students, Claire & Mari Darnell, is rallying to help families at Oishei this Christmas. While battling cancer himself, Liam recognized a way he could help the families of his fellow oncology patients. He and his family have set out to raise money to help buy parking passes for families who have children undergoing oncology treatment at Oishei. Liam’s family spent over 100 days in the hospital this year, if not for the parking pass, they would have easily spent over $900. The Lynch family hopes to lift this simple burden and help families visit their children without worry. We are proud to rally around Liam and all the children at Oishei.
