Mastocytosis Society Canada

**NEWS** FUNDRAISER in Winnipeg, Manitoba, on May 10, 2012 for children with mastocytosis.

On May 10, 2012, Luxton School, 111 Polson Ave., Winnipeg, Manitoba, will celebrate "The Year of Giving". Students will share their community service projects and a fundraiser will be held for Mastocytosis Society Canada.

The fundraiser includes a Silent Art Auction in support of children living with mastocytosis. Visit "The Art of Giving" website to view art featured in the Silent Auction and make your bid!

There will also be a bake sale, student performances, musicians, and "Street Theatre" busking throughout the school. It will be a magical evening!

All of the money raised will fund the production of a video aimed to educate on the complex nature of Pediatric Mastocytosis. The video will feature Luxton School and the innovative educational supports they created to accommodate Emma, a child and student with pediatric mastocytosis. This video will be distributed freely to parents of children with mastocytosis, their schools throughout Canada, and physicians treating children with this disorder.

For children with this disorder, attending school is a very complicated process. This video will help parents and schools in Canada to learn how to help their children remain with their peers and enjoy a normal educational life and experience at school. It will also teach educators how to handle emergency health situations and accommodate their students to ensure they learn effectively.

Luxton School has created an innovative guide which needs to be shared with all schools in Canada for all ages of children and teens with mastocytosis.
