Freshman Mixer

August 28, 2023 | Media

Cistercian Preparatory School’s Freshman Mixer Luau was held recently. With the devastating wildfires in Maui occurring three weeks earlier, the freshman class held a donation drive in conjunction with their mixer. The effort raised $3,627 and increased awareness of Maui’s great need in the wake of this historic tragedy. A Form V father will be in Maui this week to hand deliver the proceeds to the Maui Strong Fund. The outpouring of support for the victims of these fires has been overwhelming, and this has also been a great opportunity for the young men of Cistercian to demonstrate their servant leadership while also having fun!
