Abbruzzese was able to reach her fundraising goal following her presentation to members of the community.
Molly Abbruzzese walked into Challenged Child and Friends Wednesday morning $10,000 short of her goal. She gave her pitch to a handful of the nonprofit school’s board members and local community and business leaders. She hoped they could spread the word about the school’s need for a new playground.
