Swim Against Cancer

Lexington Youth Against Cancer and Minuteman Career and Technical High School have teamed up for a Pool Swim to raise $30,000 to fight cancer.

Lexington Youth Against Cancer seeks 200 swimmers to swim in Minuteman's indoor pool. Friends and family will cheer them on, while a DJ keeps the spectators entertained. Students from Minuteman will be swimming, serving food, printing signs, and volunteering in a variety of ways.

The proceeds from this event will go to Dana Farber Cancer Institute

Lexington Youth Against Cancer is a primarily a student-run non-profit organization that raises money to benefit cancer research. Sixteen-year-old Lily Hochman and seventeen-year-old Lauren Jackson are co-founders of the club and juniors at Lexington High School. When Lily and Lauren were young, cancer hit both of their families and they felt utterly helpless. Well, they are helpless no longer!
