During this holiday season many private schools in Palm Beach are going to great lengths to give back to the community. The King’s Academy National Junior Honors Society has partnered with Quantum House in a fundraiser. During the end of November and heading into December, this fundraiser raised over $2,400.
Quantum House is a non-profit organization that provides a “caring place to call home” for families while their children are being treated for serious medical conditions in Palm Beach County. The house is located on the property of St. Mary’s Hospital.
“Quarters for Quantum” is a coin drive benefiting Quantum House where local businesses, organizations and schools participate. The donations allow Quantum House to stock the food pantry for families while their children are hospitalized.
Top participating organizations will have the opportunity to appear live on TV during the Holiday Hope Drive with WPBF- TV 25.
