FTHS Students and Staff Surpass Goal in “Coins for Kids” Campaign
The Freehold Township High School community recently surpassed last year’s “Coins for Kids” fundraising efforts to benefit the pediatric wing of CentraState Medical Center.
Starting in January and ending the day before spring break, buckets brought around by Peer Leaders were available in the school’s cafeteria for anyone to drop in their spare change. All that spare change added up, resulting in $1,638.30 raised for the CentraState Healthcare Foundation. This year’s funds, $331 over last year’s total, will be used to purchase new televisions for the pediatric ward.
The CentraState Healthcare Foundation rewarded the top collecting Peer Leadership teams with “Coins for Kids” t-shirts designed by one of Freehold Township’s students. They also presented school officials with a plaque to be displayed at the school.
The “Coins for Kids” initiative was created by Health & Physical Education teacher Frank Gualtieri and coordinated through the Peer Leadership program led by advisor Sean Leahy.
