Collingswood Café Hosting Fundraiser To Help Student Newspaper

COLLINGSWOOD, NJ — Sabrina’s Café in Collingswood is hosting a one-day fundraiser to support “Eastside,” an award-winning student run newspaper at Cherry Hill High School East.

The locally grown group of popular breakfast, lunch, and brunch restaurants will host the fundraiser between 8 a.m. and 8 p.m. Friday at its location at 714 Haddon Avenue in Collingswood.

Spencer DeAbreau, son of Sabrina’s Café owners, Robert and Raquel, and Alex Levine are currently the “Eastside” Business Managers, according to a release from the café’s owners. Their daughter, Sabrina, also worked on staff while at Cherry Hill High School East years ago.

After a tough financial year for the decorated 52-year-old student-run newspaper, Robert and Raquel were quick to organize this fundraiser, in which 50 percent of all sales will be donated to “Eastside.”

“Eastside has not only been a community treasure for 50 plus years, it has also played a large role in our family as both of our children have worked at the paper,” Robert DeAbreu said. “Raquel and I want to support these hard-working students — who haven’t been in school for over a year, yet still continue to publish content daily — and their beloved Journalism teacher Greg Gagliardi, with this fundraiser. So, come out, eat some good food and support everyone’s favorite New Jersey high school paper.”

Sabrina’s Café serves an array of vegetarian/vegan among the many options with seasonally changing menus. BYOB is available at select locations. They opened the café late in April 2001 in South Philadelphia, and later expanded to Callowhill and University City in Philadelphia; Wynnewood, PA; and Collingswood. All but the Italian Market location are open for indoor and outdoor seating, takeaway, and delivery. For additional information, visit https://www.sabrinascafe.com/.
