Throwing the Pie in a Teacher’s Face for Cancer Awareness

April 21, 2015 Leave a comment


Two teachers at Oakland-Craig School took a pie to the face to raise awareness for cancer research. The teachers were Joe Anderson and Kris Reinert. Their children, Braylon Anderson and Landon Reinert, were chosen to throw the pies in their parents’ face!

Many students at O-C are members of the Relay for Life, raising money for the fight against cancer. Currently, they have raised approximately $1,000 for the cause. Their group is titled Strike Out Cancer. The members invite everyone to the Craig ball diamond on Friday, June 19th to participate in their event to Strike Out Cancer!
