PBA Local 12 vs. SHU Women's Alum

Join us on Thursday May 9th, at 7 PM in the Walsh Gymnasium, 400 South Orange Ave.) for an electrifying showdown as the South Orange Police Department squares off against the Seton Hall Women's Alumni Basketball Team in an exhibition game for Autism Acceptance fundraising.
Every dollar raised will go directly to Nassan’s Place, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization dedicated to empowering children and families impacted by autism in our communities. Through educational initiatives, recreational programs, and social outings, Nassan’s Place is making a tangible difference in the lives of those affected by autism.
Don't miss this opportunity to enjoy a spirited game while contributing to a meaningful cause. Together, we can make a difference and raise awareness for autism.
