Townies ask Help for Alec Hail of EPHS

EPHS RAISING FUNDS FOR CLASSMATE

AL’s WHEELS for ALEC HAIL – April 14th!

The Townie Volunteer Corps is a group of East Providence High School students whose goal is to volunteer in the community and positively impact the lives of those in need. The organization has conducted a worthy project each month and has promoted community service at EPHS. “Our latest initiative is a fundraiser for Alec Hail, a student at East Providence High School. Alec is often confined to his home because he lacks access to a wheel chair conversion van,” said the group’s faculty advisor Michael Silva. “The Townie Volunteer Corps is trying to assist Alec's family by hosting a pasta dinner fundraiser at EPHS. Hopefully, with your help, the great students at EPHS will make a difference in this young man's life,” said Silva.

The Townie Volunteer Corps at East Providence High School along with Al's

Wheels is hosting the pasta dinner fundraiser for a fellow classmate. The

fundraiser is for Alec Hail, a 15 year-old student who suffers from Duchenne

Muscular Dystrophy and is dependent on a power wheelchair. Currently, Alec's

family does not have a conversion van to transport him; this greatly

inconveniences Al and his family as he cannot attend after school academic

or social events. The Townie Volunteer Corps and ‘Al's Wheels’ are trying to

raise $25,000 for a wheel chair conversion van to help improve Al's quality

of life. Enjoy a delicious pasta dinner with meatballs, tossed salad, Italian bread,

beverage and dessert. The dinner/raffle fundraiser is Saturday, April 14, 6—8 pm and is $15 per person; students- $8 and 5 and younger eat free. The event is at East Providence High School. Purchase tickets at the door or call Julie Friend @ 401.486.4852 for tickets. Everyone is welcome.
