PHSAA Holds Virtual Basket Auction For Scholarships
This time last year, the Pennsauken High School Alumni Association (PHSAA) was planning a bowling and basket auction event to raise funds for scholarships for Pennsauken High School graduating seniors. As with so many other events, the fundraiser was postponed indefinitely due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
With donations already in hand and no end in sight to be able to safely hold a large event in person, PHSAA decided to revive the event, but hold it virtually. They have booked an online, virtual basket auction event through 32auctions.com. The PHSAA Bowling for Scholarships event is now PHSAA Bidding for Scholarships!

A portion of the proceeds from the luau benefits Pennsauken’s Angel Tree program, which collects new, unwrapped toys for families in need. Last year, a record number of Pennsauken families were helped during the holidays thanks to generous community and business donations.
Also this year, the Luau will use part of the proceeds to help the Tony Chaplain Life Line Ministry. The Ministry provides compassionate support for first responders and their families, by helping them cope with crises they face, resulting in a positive impact on their lives and their community.
