Worcester Wednesday Supports St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital

5/14/2026

Berlin, MD – On a recent Worcester Wednesday, students and faculty at Worcester Preparatory School (WPS) came together to support St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital through a special “Dress Down Day” fundraiser.

Participants donated $5 to benefit St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital, a leading nonprofit pediatric treatment and research center dedicated to advancing cures and prevention for catastrophic childhood diseases, particularly leukemia and other cancers. No child is denied treatment based on race, religion, or a family’s ability to pay.

Through the successful fundraiser, WPS raised $2,103 for St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital.

Each month, WPS students nominate charitable organizations to benefit from the school’s Worcester Wednesday initiative. April’s fundraiser was led by WPS sophomore Carolina Labin.

Founded in 1970, Worcester Preparatory School is a private, independent Pre-Kindergarten through Grade 12 school located in Berlin, Maryland. Approximately 500 students attend from Maryland, Delaware, and Virginia. For more information about WPS, please visit www.worcesterprep.org or call 410.641.3575.
