MKA Student Faculty Basketball Fundraiser
Run by the Middle School Student Government, the event benefited two charitable initiatives, Philippines Typhoon Victims' Relief and research into treatments for ALS - Lou Gehrig's Disease, that had been selected by the student body. Fundraising efforts included T-shirt sales, a coin collection and food sales prior to the game. Collectively, their efforts raised over $13,000.
The evening provided a fun-filled event where the spirit of competition was second to the spirit of giving. All involved left with a shared sense of pride in their school, rewarded by the outcome of having raised funds for charity. For the record, at the final buzzer, the faculty did pull off a win, avenging last year's loss to students and setting up the excitment for next year's event!
