2024 Charity Event – Third Year Class Raises $4,240 and Collects Supplies to Benefit The Autism Sanctuary

The third year class charity this year was the Autism Sanctuary, an organization that promotes the social, emotional, physical, and cognitive benefits of connection with nature for those with autism, and by extension, provides agricultural work, internship opportunities, and respite for disabled individuals. Students from all classes supported their efforts through in-kind donations and by attending the charity event at Random Row Brewing Co. on Tuesday, July 23.  As a result of the third year class’s hard work and the support of the entire Bank School community, a monetary contribution of $4,240 and supplies will be donated to the Autism Sanctuary.
