Adults are invited to PCS’s annual Spring Auction Fundraiser, which will be held Friday, April 24, from 6:30 p.m. to 10:00 p.m. at the Cape Coral Yact Club. This year’s auction is an informal boots-and-blue-jeans event. Dinner will be catered by Rib City and tickets are $18.00 at the door.

The live auction items include vacation getaways, sports tickets, fine jewelry, and more! Silent auction items include gift certificates, art work, baked good, and scores of assorted gift baskets.

This year a portion of the proceeds will go towards educational scholarships for the children of families in need.

The auction always provides a fun-filled evening for those who attend. We hope to see you there!

Dana Hankins and Alex Clary were also selected to represent our Region at the Florida State Science and Engineering Fair in April. They received additional awards, including MP3 players, medallions, and four-year scholarships to Florida Gulf Coast University!

Finally, Dana and Alex were also grand winners at the fair. Dana was second runner up, winning a trophy cup and $100, and Alex was first runner up, winning a trophy cup and $150.
