The Allentown FFA Parents, Alumni and Friends (PAF) will host the 10th annual Gift Auction and Spaghetti Dinner on March 25 at 6 p.m. at the Hope Fire Company, 82 Route 526, Upper Freehold Township. Members of the community are invited to attend.
The organization provides support to the Allentown FFA Chapter of Allentown High School throughout the year, according to a press release.
Proceeds from the gift auction will provide students with opportunities to pursue careers in veterinary science, agricultural technology and mechanical systems, earth sciences, environmental science, horticulture, aquaculture, and many other essential fields of work, according to the press release.
Students are given the opportunity to apply what they have learned in the classroom through FFA activities such as competitive events and leadership trainings.
The annual event provides the Allentown FFA PAF with necessary funds to assist with chapter activities. This includes travel to the National FFA Convention in Indianapolis, the New Jersey FFA Convention and various career development events throughout the year. Through fundraising events, all students have the opportunity to participate in any of the chapter, state and national activities, regardless of their financial situation, according to the press release.
Admission to the gift auction is $15. The admission ticket includes one sheet of tickets for the tricky tray auction and an all you can eat spaghetti dinner. Donations are also being accepted. For further information, call 609-259-7292, ext. 1440 or ext. 1443.
