William Floyd Students Raise Resources for an Important Cause


Sets for Tourettes" Fundraiser | WFHS

Near the end of the 2023-24 school year, the William Floyd High School National Honor Society under the direction of advisors Salvatore Alfredson and Rebecca Penney, hosted “Sets for Tourette’s,” a volleyball tournament to benefit the Tourette Association of America.

The event, organized by Class of 2024 alumnus Gabriel Holfester, raised $1,300, which will go toward the Tourette Association of America's mission to provide help and hope to those affected by Tourette Syndrome, tic disorders, and associated conditions through awareness, research, and support.

The participating teams raised $1,000 in advance of the tournament, and another $300 at the door from spectators. Thirty-two teams participated.
