Don Raabe Charities Giveaway Day
More than 30 charities and individuals received a share of the games’ proceeds. Among those recipients were the PA Veterans Association, Camp JJ, Destinations, Comfort House, Go Action Unity, Patients of Job, Camp New Horizons, Evergreen Elm, Giggles for Gideon, Twin Tier Pregnancy Fund, The ELF Fund and Habitat for Humanity.
More than $11,500 was distributed on Saturday bringing the total given over the 39 years of the game to about 1.6 million dollars.
Additional donations were made prior to Saturday’s give away as a result of emergency requests.
Danny Rinfrette and Justin Quiggle, players from the 2012 game and students at the University of Pittsburgh at Bradford assisted at the event by distributing checks to recipients.
The Raabe committee makes every effort to see that the proceeds of the classic reach every part of the Big 30 Area. If you have knowledge of any person or organization in need of our help, please notify us at P.O. Box 82, Bradford, PA 16701.
