SMAS Acts to Help Victims of Volcanic Eruptions in Guatemala

SMAS Acts to Help Others

San Mateo Adult School Student Council organized a benefit to help Guatemalan people hurt by the recent volcanic eruption.  The event was held on June 30th at morning and evening break times. 

Many People Helped
Volunteers at the Bake Sale Fundraiser

The Student Council organized and led the event.  Many people worked together to make it happen.  Some people advertised the event.  Some brought in baked goods.  Some helped sell them.  Some cleaned up.  Some gave donations.  It was a team effort.

A Big Success

The fundraiser collected $2151.76 in donations.  Donations will be made to Catholic Relief Services and the MaryKnoll Sisters who work directly with the people. Thank you to everyone for their kindness, compassion and generosity in making this a successful event!
