Armstrong thanks the community!

On behalf of the Armstrong Parent Group, we would like to thank the many businesses and families who contributed to our annual Autumn Benefit, enabling our organization to raise thousands of dollars!  The Autumn Benefit Fundraiser took place Saturday, November 2nd at the Knights of Columbus, and is the largest fundraiser for the Parent Group.  Many parents of Armstrong Elementary school children and friends of the Parent Group supported the fundraising effort.   The night featured the excitement of a silent auction and raffles while guests dined on delicious food from area restaurants and caterers. 

This year the following businesses and families contributed funds directly to the Armstrong Parent Group to offset the cost of running the event: Tony Mallozzi of Anthony Joseph Real Estate, Patel Brothers, Westboro Orthodontic Associates, and the Bedar, Halem, Nelson and the Veiby families.  Their generous contributions allowed more proceeds from the night to go directly to funding the needs of the school. 

The Armstrong Parent Group would like to recognize the following businesses for their generous food donations that helped provide the tasty meal served to our guests: The Bistro Bakery & Café, Chef du Jour, Edible Arrangements-Shrewsbury, Panera Bread, Roche Bros., Sapporo Restaurant and Ziti’s Italian Trattoria.

Finally, the event could not take place without the numerous donations that made up over 100 silent auction and raffle items.  The Parent Group would like to that the following businesses and families for these donations:
