Sweet Success for Elementary-Aged Philanthropist

The Giving Coast

A group of caring students is raising money for childhood cancer in honor of their classmate. Oneco Elementary School’s N.U.B.S. “Never Underestimate Brave Students” brought in more than $3,200 for Alex’s Lemonade Stand Foundation. According to advisor Marie Mueller, the cause hits close to home. The N.U.B.S. are raising money in honor of their friend Austin, a third-grade cancer survivor - and Ms. Mueller’s nephew Brian who passed away more than 20 years ago from cancer. There are seven students participating in the service club this year, which is closely aligned with Manasota Elks 2734. The N.U.B.S. recently setup a lemonade stand collecting donations outside of Fiona’s Recipe Box Eatery, owned and operated by former Oneco Elementary students. They are changing the world, one-act of kindness at a time.
