pandemic occurred nearly two years ago, and only a few days before Augusta Evans Special School was preparing to host its annual Beads for Doughnuts fundraiser.
A few hours into Saturday’s event, a large box of beads was filling up as the donations began pouring back in. The donations go toward assisting the school’s Mardi Gras beads program, which consists of approximately 50 students, ages 18-21. The school’s overall enrollment is 242 students.
