Each year the school raises hundreds of thousands of dollars for local charities through various activities that culminate in Swine Week in March.

Memorial students made the decision after student leaders visited the Jimmy Everest Center and met with physicians, patients and their families.

"We really want to be able to do something amazing for children with cancer right here in Oklahoma. We know that they are getting the best care currently available, but we want to be part of the process that will make that care even better,” said Mary Bown in a news release. Bown is a senior at Edmond Memorial and one of the leaders of this year’s Swine Week efforts.

"We are so pleased that Edmond Memorial High School has decided to support us in our efforts to do all we can for children with cancer,” said Dr. William Meyer, a children’s cancer specialist with OU Children’s Physicians and director of the Jimmy Everest Center.
