Philipsburg:---The Journey for Education Foundation was presented with a donation by Steven Patrick of Little Switzerland on Tuesday evening. The donation was made possible from funds generated during an event held for the organization at Little Switzerland's Harbor Village location. Several patrons had been invited to the cocktail style event and asked to contribute to JFE.
Steven Patrick in his presentation to JFE Vice President Rolando Tobias stated that as a former recipient of funds from Journey his zeal to give back to the organization had been his motivator in hosting the Little Switzerland event.
Tobias explained that the Journey for Education was finalizing plans for the hosting of its annual Gala dinner, which is scheduled for this Saturday at Fusion Contemporary cuisine. He stated that the donation was a welcome boost to the organization as it continues its endeavors to provide students with supplementary financing to attend tertiary education.
This year's gala dinner will mark the organization's first event of this nature without the founder Captain Gaston Boasman, who past away at the beginning of the year. The entire Board of Journey for Education extended special thanks to Mr Patrick and Little Switzerland for their support of the organization.
