SEPTA’s Spring Fundraiser Tickets on Sale

The Huntington Special Education PTA will host a fundraising event at the Twisted Cow Distillery on Thursday, May 7 from 7-10 p.m. Tickets are on sale now for $50.

The Twisted Cow Distillery is located at 13 Hewitt Square on Larkfield Road in East Northport, just south of Pulaski Road.

“Come down and enjoy great food and drinks as well as our traditional raffles and auction,” states the SEPTA website. “We will also enjoy music by ‘Kool Spectrum,’ a band comprised of adults on the spectrum, doing what they love! The dance floor will be open all night. An enjoyable evening seems to assured, according to the tireless volunteers organizing the affair.

SEPTA is a district-wide organization devoted to the promotion of quality learning experiences for Huntington students, while recognizing each child’s learning differences.

Past annual fundraising galas have helped SEPTA to sponsor a series of initiatives including the purchase of computer technology for students with autism; speech and language materials along with funding for a summer bike camp; field trips and games and supplies for social skills clubs. SEPTA also awards two annual scholarships to members of Huntington High School’s senior class.

“This important event supports the grants that many of our teachers apply for each year, as well as programs that benefit our students and families throughout the school year,” Superintendent Beth McCoy said.

One of the criteria for teachers to receive a SEPTA grant is that both the teacher and their corresponding administrator are SEPTA members for the current school year. Teachers and administrators can join online for $10 and at the same time purchase a ticket to the May 7 fundraiser. (The above link will accommodate membership dues, too.)

SEPTA has unusually low membership number this year and is looking to quickly build that figure.
