The "Racing Awareness for Dwarfism" event held at Sgt. Dominick Pilla Middle School on October 14th, 2023 was a great success!
Despite the weather, the event featured various activities including community vendors, food trucks, fire truck and ambulance displays, bouncy houses, a 50/50 raffle, basket auctions, a car show, and an exhaust competition.
Thanks to the generosity of the community and those in attendance, the event was able to raise funds and donations, which will go to the Pilla Activity Fund and DuPont's Skeletal Dysplasia Department.
Kudos to Mrs. Detteta for making it all possible; with the help of her family, friends, her Pilla Peeps, and the community.
We are so #PillaProud💙💛
