The Paper Store Helps Strike Out Cancer

had representatives outside Saturday afternoon in hopes of raising funds for the Jimmy Fund, an organization that supports the fight against cancer.

The company has 29 stores participating in order to reach their goal of $50,000 raised by Aug. 3. 

So far, they have raised $25,000. 

Swampscott's Paper Store employees were doing their part by face-painting and holding a raffle. 

The raffle winner received a bag stuffed full of goodies. The contents inside were a secret. 

"It's a great cause," said Taylor Lang, store manager. "People like to donate, they feel like they're involved."

The Swampscott store has been able to raise $600. Saturday's sidewalk event brought in an extra $120. 

Miryam Dowd was one of the people that took her time to donate to the cause. 

"You have to donate to something for the kids," Dowd said. "Kids are the most amazing angels."

Lang is appreciative of all the help she can get. 

"It makes you feel warm that people care," she said. 

Stop by the store to make your donation today.
