Wounded Warriors Project Club Sends Easter Care Packages to US Service Members

Last week members of SHP's Wounded Warrior Project Club assembled and sent Easter Care packages to members of the United States Armed Forces. Through the generosity of the SHP Community the members of the club shipped over 300 lbs of goods to service members.  Mrs. Gina Selby and the SHP bookstore donated SHP clothing items and Prep students wrote individual letters of thanks and support to the service members.

     Club president Michael Lupton was supported by seniors Bryce Marcantonio, Nicholas Zanna, and juniors Oliver Sweeney and Sean Bragdon. They spearheaded the solicitation of donations and the letter-writing and were able to secure Chick-fil-A merchandise and financial support to cover the cost of shipping. The packages were sent to a squad in the Philippines, a platoon in Afghanistan, a service member in the United Arab Emirates, as well as a platoon stationed in Washington state. Long-time SHP coach and Vietnam Veteran Richard Mannes assisted faculty member and Seton Hall’s WWPC moderator Dave Giarrusso in supervising the efforts.  [view the photo album]
