Boerne ISD raised $7,500 for Childhood Cancer Research during September.
At the Thursday night Boerne High School game, a check was presented to Dr. Greg Aune for $7,500.
The district has been participating in the “Gold Out” campaign to raise awareness and funds to aid childhood cancer research. T-shirts were available to buy on campuses and at football games during September, National Childhood Cancer Awareness Month.

In addition, Dr. Aune’s cutting-edge research focuses on the critical task of developing more effective and less toxic treatments for childhood cancer patients.
