Helping Hands

 

Helping Hands was a volunteer, community service leadership group for North Andover High School students started by Michelle Grasso in 2009. Helping Hands ran for nine years through NAYRS, with the mission of raising money and awareness for cancer patients, cancer survivors, and families impacted by cancer. Helping Hands met every week to plan projects and fundraisers to benefit American Cancer Society with the ambitious goal of raising at least $8,000 per year. Helping Hands participated in the Merrimack Valley Relay for Life every spring, and through the leadership of Michelle Grasso, Molly Malandrino, Micaela Tetrault, and Laura Stevens, Helping Hands raised a total of $81,043 over the course of 9 years. Thank you to everyone who was involved with this amazing program!
