Two enterprising third graders hope to make a difference in the lives of children battling cancer. Elana Acciavatti(left) and Paige Conrad(right) made bracelets and sold them in Acciavatti’s front yard last weekend to benefit pediatric cancer patients at WVU. They raised $15 and 10 cents for the Pediatric Cancer Care and Research Fund at the MBRCC. Elana is the daughter of Lori Acciavatti, MBRCC’s professional technologist.
Paige is the daughter of Stephanie Ballard Conrad of the WV Clinical & Translational Science Institute.
