Students and staff at Baker Intermediate raised more than $9,000 in just 10 days dur­ing their annu­al DanceBlue Mini Marathon to sup­port the fight against pedi­atric can­cer.

The event com­bined cel­e­bra­tion and pur­pose, as par­tic­i­pants danced in hon­or of chil­dren and fam­i­lies impact­ed by cancer.
