NJ Prep School To Use Pie Fight To Beat Hunger

LAWRENCEVILLE, N.J. (AP) -- Pies will fly in the name of charity at a New Jersey prep school Thursday.
   
The Lawrenceville School will attempt to break the Guinness World Record for the biggest custard pie fight.
   
Proceeds will benefit the Trenton Area Soup Kitchen. The school has raised nearly $7,000 so far.
   
The school needs at least 435 people to hurl the chocolate custard pies with graham cracker crusts to beat the record.

The record is based on the number of participants and each must have access to at least two edible pies.
   
The Lawrenceville School has 815 students from 33 states and 33 countries.
