Cheque presented to autism school
Pearl Beach Youth Theatre presented a $2000 cheque to the Central Coast School for Children with Autism on February 5.
The money was raised from the theatre group's first production Little Gypsy Gaye at Pearl Beach Memorial Hall last month.
More than 100 local residents and visitors attended the sell-out production across three days.
The production's musical director Ms Diane Orton presented the cheque to school principal Ms Janet Millhouse at a special presentation with school parents and friends.
Ms Millhouse thanked Ms Orton and said she and the school's parents were amazed at the amount of money raised, and overwhelmed by the generosity of the Pearl Beach community, in particular the youth theatre group in choosing their school.
The Central Coast School for Children with Autism is located in Terrigal and helps in the education and development of children living with autism.
