Kids at Deer Park Junior High are raising money to help a classmate battling brain cancer for the third time. Students in the DPJH Big Red Paige Project class are working to help 8th grade student Tyler Rohm. August 2021 will mark four years that Tyler has battled stage 4 brain cancer (medullablastoma). He has been unable to attend school for the last couple of years as he has been hospitalized for most of that time.
The annual Paige Project's main goal is to raise money for kids in the community with cancer and other serious illnesses. This year, the students are on a mission to help Tyler and his family with the costs associated with his medical care. They have planned several fundraising elements this semester to benefit Tyler. If you'd like to help too, there are lots of options...
Virtual Silent Auction (now through 3/11)
Taking bids now on 20 awesome student-collected baskets filled with gift cards, golf items, spa products, TX Lottery scratch-offs, Raising Cane's, Chick-fil-A, Gringo's Tex-Mex, and all kinds of fun stuff
Video Game/Electronics Raffle (now through 3/11)
The students are raffling off a HUGE electronics/video game package (valued at more than $1,000) - it includes a Nintendo Switch, an Oculus Quest 2, and a set of Apple AirPods Pro
‘Egg My Yard’ Fundraiser (now through 3/22)
The night before Easter, DPJH students will help out the Easter Bunny and deliver candy filled eggs to the yards of Deer Park families who place their order before the 150 available spots are gone - "eggings" can be ordered at $25, $35, and $45 levels
The Paige Project students also set up a Go Fund Me account for anyone who’d like to just make a direct donation to Tyler and his family
