HOPKINSVILLE, KY – Christian County Public Schools has announced a gift card drive to support Chase Pemberton, a 2020 graduate of Hopkinsville High School currently battling Acute Myeloid Leukemia. Chase is the son of Don and Laurie Pemberton. His mother Laurie serves as the Family Resource and Youth Services Center (FRYSC) Coordinator at Crofton Elementary.
Chase was diagnosed earlier this year and recently received the incredible news that he has been matched with a donor for a bone marrow transplant. In the coming days, Chase will be traveling to Houston, where he will remain for several months to receive treatment.

We also want to show Chase and his family that the community is standing with them during this challenging time.”…
