Earlier this year, we donated basketball backboard systems that would be auctioned off at dinner events held by several local schools and churches. These auctions have proven to be a great success in efforts to raise funds for their respective educational programs. Septic Services, has again joined with other local businesses to donate to more local schools and churches. We’ve recently donated basketball backboard systems to St. Ignatius in Concord Hill, St. Joseph Neier in Union and St. Gertrude School located in Krakow. St. Ignatius will hold their event on September 20th. St. Joseph Neier and St. Gertrude School will have their auctions on October 25th. Once again, we are very pleased that we can help out our local schools and churches in such a worthy goal.
