The devastation brought upon us by Hurricane Sandy, will never be forgotten in New York. Hurricane Sandy will be written down in the history books, because New York has never experienced any storm that did this amount of damage. People that were affected by the storm and lost more than valuable objects. They lost essentials like their homes and relatives because of this natural disaster. Many of these families were without warm clothes, electricity, gas and food because of the damages of the hurricane.
The Purple Rose Billiards team decided to get together and collect clothes, food and money to try to help as many people as we could. We did not think that many people would even want to contribute, but to our surprise the turnout was amazing. Many people came in with bags and bags of clothes to donate. Clothes with the price tags still attached to them. We raised $250.00, which went to purchasing cleaning supplies and much more. Even though we have lost every game in our APA season; this just goes to show the values of our fellow people of New York!
