Nicholas Mazarella's Holiday Print to Benefit Foundation

Nicholas Mazarella, Boiling Springs High School class of 2010, has donated his print of a winter scene at Chidren's Lake to the Bubbler Foundation. His print was used for the 2008 Christmas Card sent by the South Middleton School District.

The print will be available at local businesses and from The Bubbler Foundation. Earlier this spring, the Bubbler Foundation received a note from Nicholas offering the print to the Foundation. Nicholas wrote: "Last December, this painting was selected by the South Middleton School District to be featured on the District's annual holiday card. Based on the positive comments I received on the card's design, I decided to offer the print for sale to the public and donate all proceeds to the Bubbler Foundation. This non-profit organization benefits and enhances the educational, cultural, athletic, environmental, and wellness experiences for the children and residents of South Middleton Township.

By purchasing this print, you are helping to improve the educational opportunities and quality of life for all citizens of our township and school district." The Bubbler Foundation would like to thank Nicholas for his generous support of the Foundation.
