Fundraiser

One part of our team’s mission is to engage in philanthropic projects that instill in the students a respect for community and a willingness to help others.  Our primary philanthropic event this year will be raising money for Cleveland’s Alta House.   The Alta House, located in Little Italy, provides services for the elderly such as transportation, nutrition and meal programs, friendly visitation, and recreational activities.  They also serve the youth and community with after-school activities, art programming, field trips, and tutoring.  The funds we raise will help keep these programs strong and will also assist in other Alta House community outreach efforts.
