CET PTA will be serving dinner and snack food and selling concessions to help spectators cheer on their favorite team.A table will be set up for monetary donations.
CET’s student group “Kids Helping Kids” will also collect change for the purchase of a Barnes & Noble gift card. The gift card will be from the students of CET to the students of Plaza Towers to replace books lost in the tornado.
