Teachers at New Hyde Park Memorial High School teamed up and participated in the school’s annual Faculty Charity Basketball Game which benefited St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital.
The game raised $2,742 for the organization, which was selected to benefit by the school’s Key Club. Varsity basketball coach Donald Rood organized the event and Principal Dr. Richard Faccio served as referee.
The funds collected were raised through ticket sales, raffle tickets and a bake sale. In addition, the Key Club organized a Denim Day raising an additional $320 for the organization. In all, more than $3,000 will be donated to St. Jude.
