Lynbrook HS Music Department Fundraiser Helps Island Harvest

By Rosemary Leonetti

Lynbrook High School music students have found a clever way to help Island Harvest through their annual school fundraiser.

To help defray the cost of a band trip to Boston and the orchestra’s “Electrify Your Strings” concert with Mark Wood, students ran a fruit sale fundraiser. Following a tradition they started last year, they made arrangements to offer their supporters the opportunity to buy a box of fruit to donate to Island Harvest. 

Through their efforts they were able to donate more than 1,000 pounds of fruit to Island Harvest, providing fresh fruit for hungry residents of Long Island.
