Gelinas Junior High Raises Thousands for Children's Hospital

Students and teachers at Gelinas Junior High have raised more than $10,000 for Stony Brook Long Island Children's Hospital – and two anonymous donors have matched that amount, resulting in a donation of about $30,000 to the new hospital.

They met their goal Monday night at a fundraiser they called "A Touch of Class," which featured performances from the school's chamber orchestra and refreshments served by the school's National Junior Honor Society. It represented the school's largest-ever fundraising effort.
