In an effort to continue with its mission of supporting the community’s students, the Tower Foundation of Manhasset recently donated funds to the local after-school educational program Adventures In Learning for the purchase of eight Internet hot spots meant to provide Internet access to local students in need of such services. During these challenging times, the hot spots will enable the students to engage in the remote-learning protocol set up by area schools currently closed due to the COVID-19 situation.

“Tower is proud to be supporting online learning for students during this pandemic crisis,” Tower co-president Dr. Vicky Giouroukakis said. “After seeing a Facebook post by Adventures in Learning requesting funds, we reached out to Diana [Holden, AIL executive director] to see how Tower could help. Thanks to our collaboration with Adventures in Learning leadership, as well as the Manhasset School district’s administration and IT team, Tower was able to provide hot spots to those students who do not have high-speed Internet access at home. Such access is a necessity in these times for ensuring the continuity of learning.”
