JACKSON — A big crowd is expected at the Elms Elementary School gymnasium Friday to watch a basketball doubleheader. Faculties from three schools in the district as well as a team of police and fire department members will be battling it out on the court.
But the star of the night will be a fourth-grade pupil of the host school.
The games are being held to benefit 9-year-old Chase Olsen, who has spent most of the school year traveling back and forth to Children's Hospital of Philadelphia for intensive cancer treatments.

Imerman Angels: One-on-One Cancer Support
Imerman Angels connects a person fighting cancer today ("cancer fighter") with someone who has beaten the same type of cancer ("cancer survivor"). The relationship provides a fighter the opportunity to ask personal questions and receive encouragement from someone who is uniquely familiar with the situation. The relationship provides a survivor the opportunity to personally help a fighter as he or she battles the disease.
In addition, Imerman Angels also connects “caregivers.” A caregiver is a friend or family member who is supporting a cancer fighter. Like fighters and survivors, they wish to be paired up with another caregiver who relates to and understands their situation. For instance, we have introduced the mother of a three-year-old cancer fighter to the mother of a four-year-old cancer survivor.
