For our service project we are planning on hosting  a lemonade stand near Maggie Mohn's house and also have a bandage drive on campus. We plan on hosting our drive on March 25th through the 28th. We are hoping to collect enough bandages at school and donate them to the organization. Another thing we're planning on doing is having another lemonade stand, and with the money we raise from the lemonade stands we will buy bandages at the store and also donate those bandages. So in all we are planning on collecting and raising lots of bandages to give to Noah's Bandage Project.

400,000 kids globally are diagnosed with cancer (before they have reached their second decade of life) each year.

NBP started in 2014 and is still going strong. It started when Noah, at just the age of 6, got diagnosed with cancer. While having at least one bandage on him a day, he was so sick of these plain bandages, so he  started a drive to collect new colorful ones. He did this because he knew a bandage was much more than just a little brown thing. He knew bandages were, a badge of courage, an identity, and just fun.

# data[].attributes.body
In 2018 an estimated amount of 47 children were diagnosed with cancer per day.

# data[].attributes.body
NBP has also donated $1.2 Million to Pediatric Cancer Research and 7.02 Million individual bandages. They also have funded 7 Children's Mercy Research Institute grants.

One thing we did was host a lemonade stand this weekend, March 29 and it was very successful! We raised about $215, and we hope to raise another $200 more next week. We also had a bandage drive at our school and we collected 26 boxes of bandages and 7 arm wraps. We hope to be able to donate over 75 boxes of bandages to NBP!

# data[].attributes.body
For our final accomplishments we were able to help our friend Morgan Komoroski with her service project by attending a party she hosted for Bags of Fun. That was our in person service but we were also had a lemonade stand. We earn $215 in this lemonade stand. Before that we had our bandage drive collecting around 30 boxes of bandages and 7 arm wraps. Finally on April 26 we went to Target and used the lemonade money to buy 2,027 individual bandages and 101.35 boxes (if every box held 20 bandages). With that amount we added the bandage drive boxes and found we collected and bought 3,094 individual bandages and roughly 155 boxes (again if each box held 20).

You could also contribute to NBP by just donating a sum of money or a check, that goes to childhood cancer research funding.

One of the most fun things you can do to help is participate in their annual 5K run. Not only is this fun and active but it is a way to spread children's cancer awareness throughout the city!

So NBP is an organization that collects bandages for young children that are in hospitals. These bandages go to children with disabilities, diseases, cancer, and all kinds of sicknesses. It is also a place that donates money to children's cancer research.

# data[].attributes.body
We need NBP in Kansas City because now almost every year at St. Elizabeth's there is a group that is donating and supporting them, every spring! They are also raising cancer awareness and causing a revolution towards many goals. They are doing so many great things and really thriving!
