SPTA Raises Money for Cradle Beach Camp
SPTA chose Cradle Beach, a camp which serves disadvantaged and disabled children, as the beneficiary of its fall charity event. On November 11, PT students, faculty and families gathered at Frog Hair, a locally owned restaurant and indoor golf experience. Thanks to the energy of SPTA and the generosity of many donors, the fundraiser was a great success! Notably, Mullane Motors and Frog Hair supported the event with a mountain bike prize and excellent food and use of the golf simulators for the evening. Students presented a check for over $900 to the camp director.
