SPAA Alumni Participate in Fall 2025 Weekend of Service

SPAA alumni and friends spent a meaningful weekend celebrating service. It started with a morning of giving back at the Community FoodBank of New Jersey in Hillside, NJ on Saturday, where volunteers helped fight food insecurity in our state by sorting and packing essentials for families in need.

The weekend closed out with heart and hope at the Making Strides Against Breast Cancer Walk on Sunday morning in Newark, NJ. Together, alumni walked in unity, in memory, and in support — raising awareness and standing strong for those affected by breast cancer.
