Long Neck Sunrise Rotary Club helped Long Neck Elementary get closer to its $100,000 playground construction goal with its second donation of $5,000.
Rotary’s support totaling $10,000 for the playground fund was provided from its charity golf outing proceeds.
“The opportunity to make a major difference in the lives of students and community residents in Long Neck by supporting a playground project that is accessible to children of all ages and capabilities is critical to our mission,” said Lucille Cavan, club president. “We are thrilled to be able to offer meaningful support, particularly during this challenging time.”
