The Hawthorne High School girls volleyball team held its first annual Serve-A-Thon fundraiser on Friday, October 2nd. From the freshmen to the seniors, each girl was given 2 minutes to serve as many balls over the net and into the court. Players received donations per serve, or a straight donation.

Senior Captain Barbara Colizza was the record holder, getting fifty-one serves over in the allotted time. “It’s not even about getting the most serves, I’m just happy to raise money and give back to my team,” said Colizza.

Varsity coach Daniella Salemo thought the fundraiser went exceptionally well, “The Serve-A-Thon was a really great way to get everyone involved. Some girls really showed the desire to raise more with strong serves.” Salemo is already looking forward to the event next year.

The volleyball team would like to say thank you to everyone who donated money to support the Bears!
