The Seabreeze High School Class of 1970 recently donated a total of $3,000 to two local organizations, thanks to funds raised following its 52-year high school reunion.

The money came from class member donations and in-kind contributions.

The first donation of $1,500 went to First Step Shelter in Daytona Beach and will be used for the shelter's outdoor safe zone. The second $1,500 donation went to Seabreeze High School's Athletic Department, where the money will be used to help students in financial need participate in sports.

"The class would like to recognize the over-and-above effort by Mr. Montgomery to assist and contribute to the success of their reunion, as well as his outstanding leadership to promote SHS Athletics to alumni and other local concerns," class member Rick Bosang said in an email.
