March 2, 2022 (Manhasset, NY)– Due to the pandemic, Adventures in Learning, the after-school program for children in need from Manhasset and Great Neck, will be holding its second virtual fundraiser from March 18-25, 2022 instead of the in-person Annual Wine Tasting Soirée.
Adventures is a highly acclaimed academic assistance program that has been supported by local residents and businesses for 53 years. Despite recent school closings, Adventures has valiantly continued its tutoring and mentoring programs both virtually and in-person. For that matter, the Adventures family has provided additional support to its families with the help of such local businesses as Villa Milano, Schout Bay Restaurant, Publican’s, Daniel Gale Real Estate and Gallery Couture.
Of great interest is that the newly formed Adventures Associates Board of young supporters (ages 18-35) will participate as well.
This year, for the first time, there will also be One-Year Classroom Naming Sponsorships available for $2500. In addition to Kash for Kids, the always popular Silent Auction will return with the following items up for auction. Item details are listed on the website www.Adventures-in-Learning.org.
