Second Hoops for Autism Event a Success

School teacher, Ali Diwany takes a free throw and day school staff are ready to rebound.

The QSAC Day School hosted the 2nd Hoops for Autism event on Friday, August 12th. There were raffles for amazing gift baskets, face painting, tattoos and arts & crafts for the kids, and gift cards for 1st and 2nd place prizes in each of the 2 main events: the Free-Throw competition and the Three-Point Shoot-Out. Congratulations to David Chung, who repeated as the 1st place winner in the Free-Throw competition, followed closely behind by Day School Teacher, Dan Gatto, who took 2nd place. James Wolfin, son of Madelyn Wolfin (the School and Preschool’s social worker) took 1st place in the three- point shoot-out but only after going to a sudden death round with none other than our own, Lisa Veglia. Lisa lost in the shoot-out but took home 2nd place!

In the end, the event raised over $5,000 for the QSAC Day School. It was a fun evening for all and we’ll look forward to seeing all our supporters for more fun at Hoops for Autism III in August 2012!
