Sabrini Mirpuri, Shannon Newland and Julia Hogroian poses with Antilles students’ pop art. The face of Antilles School science teacher Adam Quandt was covered with whipped cream and after he was the target of a pie-throwing game during the “Fun Day for Kids” fundraiser Sunday afternoon at Antilles’ Mark C. Marin Center.
The fundraiser tradition was started three years ago by Noor Suid and another classmate, who has since moved off-island. Suid has kept it going with the help of students, teachers, Antilles staff and her family.
The first year it was held, the $3,000 proceeds were donated to Bethlehem House. Suid has since added Clear Blue Sky, a clubhouse for individuals suffering with mental illness, as a beneficiary.
This occasion has surely proved that charity work can be fun. It obviously gives these people a feeling of fulfilment. No matter how much money was raised, it doesn’t really important. What’s really important is wanting to help others.
