MKA's 2017 Student vs. Faculty Charity Basketball Game is a Huge Success
Organized by the Middle School Student Government under the leadership of Cheryl Amendola and Gary Kaufman, along with help from PAMKA and with the support from almost every Middle School faculty member and parents , a huge crowd came out to cheer on the players and enjoy the enthusiastic game where the impressive faculty beat the students 42-40.
A combination of 6th, 7th and 8th chamber singers and faculty sang the national anthem and the Middle School Pep Band added to the entertainment. Food donated by parents, special event T-shirt sales and homeroom coin drives (The 8th grade won!) added to the fundraising success of the night.
This year's charitable recipients, selected by the students (traditionally, one local and one national or international organization), are, Ronald McDonald House of New Brunswick & Make-A-Wish Foundation, who together will receive over $8,000!
CherylAnne and Gary said about the event, "The MKA Faculty-Student Basketball each year shows the power a community has to come together to help others in need. We are always in awe of the enthusiasm of our faculty, staff and students to participate in the week leading up to the game and then the game itself. It's an exciting event for a great cause!"
Congratulations to all involved!
