Thanks to community support of the Char-Val Candies Easter fundraiser, $6,000 was donated to our local volunteer fire departments, with $2,000 each presented to New Bethlehem, Hawthorn, & Distant Fire Companies.
👏 Ben & Amanda Carrico of Char-Val Candies emphasized the credit belongs to you, the community! As Dr. Ben Carrico shared, this donation was made possible by the people who supported the fundraiser.
❤️ Ashley Bish, Chairwoman of the New Bethlehem Volunteer Fire Company Fundraising Committee, called it a true community effort and expressed gratitude to everyone who purchased candy, along with the Carrico family and Char-Val employees.
📸 A special group photo included leadership from all three fire companies, the Ben Carrico family, Char-Val employees, New Bethlehem Mayor the Rev. Dr. Gordon Barrows, and community partners, all coming together to say thank you!
