The Cerritos High School PTSA raised more than $6,200 during its first ever bowling fundraiser held last Saturday.
The fun-filled afternoon took place at AMF Cerritos Lanes, where more than 100 students, families and members of the community gathered to enjoy a few hours of bowling, dining, a silent auction and the raffling of a variety of prizes, which were donated by local businesses and parents.
Some of the event's notable sponsors included:
- LA County Supervisor Don Knabe -- Silver Sponsor
- Dr. Daniel Wong, MD, Former Mayor of Cerritos (1978 to 1992) -Silver Sponsor
Other sponsors included former Cerritos Mayor Laura Lee, Cerritos council member Mark Pulido, Panda Express, OR Global, All American Trophy, Wilcor Contracting, Dennis Gorospe, oral surgeon and many of the students' parents.
The funds raised will be used to help the PTSA pay for 2,000 student agendas as well as provide two $500 scholarships to seniors -- something the PTSA provides each year. In year's past, PTSA funds have been used to help pay for other school "wish list" items, such as the school's electronic marquee, a big screen projector in the gym, lunch tables and chairs for the students.
