Haloti Ngata Fundraising Event
This past Friday, Mr. Tom and Jordan Leon, a senior, attended a charity event with the Haloti Ngata Family Foundation. Mr. Ngata is a former Raven, and there were several other Ravens in attendance as well. Mr. Miles Goodman, a supporter of The Community School and staff at the Ngata Foundation, presented a check to the school. This generous donation was given to both TCS and City Neighbors High school to help implement SAT/ACT tutoring next year. Miles Goodman and his wife praised TCS and its role in the community.
Jordan wrote enthusiastically about the event, stating, “The whole thing was a blast, so I really don’t have a favorite part. But, before arriving, I thought that I was going to get four autographs and receive the check, but when I left the place, I got a signed Brandon Williams jersey, a basket full of stuff, and the gift that I was never expecting to get, a signed football by Jacoby Jones. To get that football, I placed a ticket into the bag, and when they called by number, I almost cried. I could not believe that I had just won that. Even though he is no longer in the NFL, he is still one of my favorite players. This was one of my favorite nights and it wouldn’t have happened if I did not attend the school. This event just adds on to my amazing memories I have had at the school”.
We are very grateful for the support and generosity of Mr. Goodman and the Ngata Foundation. Thank you so much for a memorable night!
