The Press Release...
On Friday, October 3, the
Perkiomen Valley Education Association (PVEA) & Educational Support Personnel
Association (ESPA) sponsored a Longaberger Basket Bingo & Basket Raffle at the
Skippack Fire Hall to benefit the Perkiomen Valley Student Loan Fund.
In addition to bingo, the
faculty and staff from each school within the district sponsored a Longaberger
basket for a basket raffle by filling it with items related to a theme such as
“Family Fun Night” & “Patriotism”. Approximately 175
Perkiomen Valley School District faculty and staff as well as community members
attended the bingo event that raised approximately $2,800 for the Perkiomen
Valley Student Loan Fund.
All proceeds from the event
benefited the PV Student Loan Fund that provides 0% interest loans to PV
graduates who demonstrate need and plan to further their education. To date,
all loans have been repaid to the Fund in a timely fashion. The Student Loan
Fund is a wonderful program that helps to provide assistance and open additional
opportunities for students in Perkiomen Valley School District. Although not
every Longaberger bingo or raffle participant could win a Longaberger basket,
the students of Perkiomen Valley School District were the true winners during
this fun-filled evening.
