Joey’s Seafood and Grill to hold Schools for Schools fundraiser for Houghton Elementary PTO Dec. 4

HOUGHTON -- Joey’s Seafood and Grill in downtown Houghton will sponsor a special Schools for Schools fundraiser to support Houghton-Portage Township Elementary’s Parent-Teacher Organization (PTO). Guests are invited to dine in or carry out between 11 a.m. and 9 p.m. on Tuesday, Dec. 4. Houghton Elementary’s PTO will receive 20 percent of each bill.

"Our initiative is to fund-raise, to purchase new school equipment and library books and provide field trips, so that young students don’t have to sell door-to-door," says Amy Schrank, PTO President.

The Schools for Schools fundraiser was initiated by Joey’s Seafood and Grill owners, Cheryl and Alan Kiley, whose children attend Houghton Elementary School. By simply enjoying a great meal at a locally owned downtown restaurant, guests can simultaneously help support Houghton Elementary students.

All community members are welcome to stop by Joey’s Seafood and Grill on Tuesday, Dec. 4. Please mention this charity prior to receiving your bill.

For more information, contact Houghton Elementary PTO President, Amy Schrank, amyschrank@gmail.com or call Joey’s Seafood and Grill, (906) 483-0500.
