"It was a school project to raise money for SkillsUSA," said Mark Gandalfo who was in charge of the construction of the cabin.

Construction trades instructor Charles Collin said the funds the students raise from the raffle are used to help supplement the cost to students to pay for their trip to compete in SkillsUSA, a nationwide workforce skills competition.

"It's something we do on a yearly basis," said Collin.

The raffle tickets are on sale during the Long Lake Ice-Fishing Derby. Persons interested in purchasing a ticket can buy them at the Long Lake Sporting Club the remainder of today and tomorrow.

I hope this all works out

I hope this all works out well and a lot of money is raised. Anytime students wish to do something worthwhile there are things that everyone can do to pitch in and help when they can.

 

Organizing a fundraiser for students who want to go on a great trip and are able to use common sense is important and donating is even more important for those who can afford it.
