HONORING LOCAL HEROES



DECEMBER 2, 2010 -- DPS Penn will once again be a sponsor of the Heroes Run/Walk, which has been set for Saturday, September 17, 2011.

At the 2010 event, DPS Penn and other sponsors pledged more than $15,000 was raised for memorial funds established in the names of Army Spc. Gregory Cox and Marine Lance Cpl. Steven Phillips, both of whom gave their lives in the Iraq War.

The Spc. Gregory A. Cox Memorial Scholarship Fund assists Greene County high school graduates entering the Army Reserve Officers’ Training Corps or the fields of public safety or public service. The Lance Cpl. Steven Phillips Memorial Fund provides support for the computer-aided drafting program at the Greene County Career and Technology Center. Both funds are being handled by the Community Foundation of Greene County.

Race proceeds also help fund the cost of transportation for Greene County veterans receiving treatment at the Veterans Affairs Pittsburgh Healthcare System clinic in Pittsburgh.

For more information, call the Department of Recreation at 724-852-5323, or visit www.co.greene.pa.us. We hope to see you at the 2011 event!
