Page County High School FCCLA "Chair-ity" Auction

The purpose of this auction is to honor Lexi Rucker. Proceeds from this event will be donated to the Duke University Pediatric Bone Marrow Transplant Family Support Program at the request of Lexi's family.

The Duke PBMT Family Support Program was started in 1997 by Jane Schroeder as a part of the Duke Pediatric Blood and Marrow Transplant Program. Their program started as a volunteer-based partnership with local groups and individuals, providing support for patients and families through donations of meals, running errands, and visiting patients in the hospital. Through the years, the program has grown to include a wide array of inpatient and outpatient activities, sibling and caregiver support, as well as financial assistance to families undergoing the lengthy journey through the transplant process. All support services are provided at no charge to their patients and their families.
