Britni Nunley recently had the pleasure of presenting Sheril Miller with a check for $820.75 during a St. Andrew’s-Sewanee School (SAS) chapel meeting. She is a senior day student at SAS, the daughter of Nicole and Tommy Nunley of Tracy City.
Miller is the director of development of the Chattanooga affiliate of Susan G. Komen for the Cure, an organization dedicated to trying to end breast cancer.
Nunley raised the money by organizing a “Pink Out” for St. Andrew’s-Sewanee’s final regular home football game. She designed a T-shirt, had them printed, and sold them to classmates, teachers, friends, family and neighbors. For each $10 shirt sold, $5 went to Komen. Many of the football team members sported pink socks or gloves that day to support the project.
“I’m really proud of Britni,” said the Rev. John Thomas, SAS head of school. “So often, even those of us with the best intentions wait to be asked to help a good cause. Britni showed tremendous initiative, organization and caring in putting together a wonderful way for this community to support a worthwhile organization.”
Komen is working to end breast cancer through research, community health outreach, advocacy, and programs in more than 50 countries. Most of the money raised by Nunley will be used to provide support and advocacy for those fighting breast cancer in nearby communities.
