PHHS Swim Team holding a swim-a-thon

PARSIPPANY — Parsippany Hills High School Swim Team is holding a first time swim-a-thon event to help raise money for the New Jersey DECA Community Service fundraiser “Packages for Patriots”.

Through this fundraiser, the business club is supporting the charity, Operation Shoebox. Operation Shoebox is a non-profit organization that is based in New Jersey and sends care packages to soldiers overseas using products and goods that are donated to them. Recently this organization shipped package number 100,000 to a New Jersey service person on active duty.

At the moment the organization needs the money to continue to send all these packages to our soldiers. This year, New Jersey DECA’s state goal is to raise and donate $25,000 to the cause. Through this business club at their school, Parsippany Hills juniors, Shreya Moola and Jillian Bostek have co-chaired their chapter’s fundraising efforts. During the course of the year a variety of activities have been utilized to raise funds. The girls are also members of the PHHS swim team and have used their passion for swimming to organize an event through their team.

They have set up a swim-a-thon that will give the entire swim team a chance to do something to give back to the community. The event will take place on February 1st at Morristown High School between 5:30 p.m. and 6:30 p.m. The entire swim team and its supporters are excited to see what the outcomes of this event will be and are hopeful to raise the money needed!

If community members would like to donate to this worthwhile cause they contact Mr.John Pico or Mr.William Soden at Parsippany Hills High School.
