The back to school celebration was filled with fun, laughter, ice buckets and amazing generosity!
Pack 459’s back to school celebration was an amazing success. From lazer tag and angry birds, to booger wars and hamster balls Cub Scouts and their families had an amazing time. Even more amazing was the spirit and generosity of the Pack when it came to the ALS Ice Bucket Challenge.
When the pack was challenged by Amanda Leekley, who has been selling friendship bracelets for years to raise funds for ALS raising over $700 on her own, the Pack rose to the challenge, and delivered! At the time the video was recorded, over $750 had been raised. By the end of the celebration, over $1,900 was raised!

Mr. Berenguer also challenged the entire Boy Scout Wood Badge Staff from Wood Badge training session 92-75!

The pack donated all funds raised to the Kimberly Kim Foundation. The Kim family is a Scouting family and part of Pack 459.
To make donations to help defeat ALS, you have many options. Here are a few you might want to consider;
