Playing for Purpose

The Ping Pong Tournament tonight was a huge success! We want to thank Turiellos, Harry's Burritos, Nyack Gourmet, Subway and Temptations for donating gift certificates that were used as prizes. We also want to thank SOS for letting us share their event, everyone else that made this event possible and everyone that came to support and donate to our cause. After a great night filled with competition and fun, we raised $323! All of this money is going to the Making Headway Foundation in memory of Jesse Yanko. Jesse was an amazing kid who filled any room with his positive presence, especially when he was playing a game of ping pong. Jesse loved ping pong and even played in our first tournament. We feel that the event tonight reflects what type of person Jesse was and that Jesse lives on through Playing for Purpose and everyone doing the things that he loved. Thank you again to everyone who has supported our cause and make sure to check out the pictures posted below of the tournament. Stay tuned because we plan on having another ping pong tournament before the end of the school year.

Only a couple more hour until the event! The even starts at 6 and the tournament will start at 6:30 to give some time for everyone to get there and for people to warm up. There will be signs leading to the room for people who don't know how to get to the wrestling room. See you there!
