State Representative Michelle Cook
(D-Torrington) is pleased to announce that Torrington High School will be
holding its first ever “Raiders Rally for Torrington” on Friday May 31, 2013;
an event she will be attending. This charity fundraiser involving the student
body and community will benefit the local chapters of Susan B. Anthony, FISH/Friends
in Service to Humanity, and the Friendly Hands Food Bank.
“This is a great way to bring the town together to support
many different charities,” Rep. Cook said. “I am proud parent of one of the
students participating, and I applaud Torrington’s high school students for
coming up with idea to give back to the community.”
A morning kick off rally will begin at 5:30 am with
spirit-building games and performances highlighting school groups. From 7
to 11 am, ten sponsored events that appeal to a broad range of skills and
interests will run concurrently, including a walk-a-thon, a read-a-thon, and a
limbo competition. Every participant will raise a minimum of $25 in
pledges and 100% of the money raised will be split equally amongst the
charities specified.
"The THS community wants to give back to the Torrington
community. While our clubs have already run many successful charity
events this year, we were looking to do one unified drive to benefit the town,"
event coordinator, Erin Sullivan, commented.
Event planners are reaching out to businesses and town
citizens for participation. There is something for everyone to do - from
sponsoring or joining a team of participants, to becoming an event helper, to
donating supplies for the running of the event.
