Business Night sponsors—Godfather’s Pizza, Skate City, Simply Swirled and McDonalds—were recognized on Wednesday, March 2, at the elementary school for donating a portion of their proceeds to the school fundraiser.
The first Math-A-Thon was held at O’Neal in 1989. Within several years, the fundraiser gained full district support, bringing in hundreds of thousands of dollars for St. Jude at this point.
