Dept of PA Studies Raises Money for The Learning Tree

The Class of 2020 raised $9,919 for The Learning Tree. Every year, the USA PA Studies Program didactic class selects a philanthropy then hosts a fundraiser to support the cause. This year the Class of 2020 hosted Craws for a Cause, an annual crawfish boil and silent auction, that allowed us to raise money for such a special cause. The Learning Tree is a nonprofit organization that provides services including residential housing and education for children and adolescents with developmental disabilities, such as autism.
