We are proud to announce that in addition to the $10,000 dollars we were able to grant The Duryea Betterment Committee for Healey Park renovations we were fortunate enough to be able to grant $2,500.00 to the Pittston Area Football Alumni Association. They will use the proceeds towards small upgrades at the Jimmy Cefalo Alumni Athletic Center. As always we could not do it without all your love and support. Jimmy would frequent visit the Park and was a former football player himself. We know he would certainly appreciate these 2 grants. See you all again in 2027 for our 7th Annual Event. ❤️❤️🙏🙏
