USC bake sale benefits women’s shelter
Two rising ninth-graders raised $555 to benefit the Women’s Center & Shelter of Greater Pittsburgh.
As eighth-graders at Fort Couch Middle School, Lylah Kateeb and Isabella Donnelly hosted a bake sale during the school’s annual Celebration of Learning.
“We baked most of the goods but also received many donations from the families of Fort Couch,” Kateeb said.
The pair organized the entire sale down to the advertising. They enlisted a friend, Braidyn Recker, to help sell the pastries during the event.
Bake sale donations will help the women’s shelter in its mission to provide safety, shelter, support and guidance to survivors of domestic violence.
“You have made a gift that truly makes a difference. Thank you for giving and inspiring others with your generosity,” the Team at Women’s Center & Shelter of Greater Pittsburgh said.
In the future, Kateeb and her friends plan to continue to make a difference.
“We had a lot of fun,” she said. “We hope to do something like this again with the support and help of our community.”
