In a heartwarming display of community spirit and generosity, the Allegany County Shrine and the Port Allegany Veterans Memorial Inc. of Port Allegany, PA have successfully raised over $6,000 to support the Shrine hospital. This remarkable effort underscores the power of collaboration and the deep-rooted commitment of these organizations to giving back.

The fundraising event, held on Thursday September 26, saw an outpouring of support from the local Veterans organization who served a wonderful Prime Rib dinner at the Shrine Clubs monthly meeting followed by the Shrines annual auction to raise money for the Shrine Children’s Hospital.

The Allegany County Shrine thanks the Port Allegany Veterans organization for its generous gift of $5,000. The event was a resounding success, with participants expressing their joy and pride in contributing to such a worthy cause.

The Shrine hospital, known for its exceptional care and support for children with specialized medical needs, will benefit greatly from this donation. The funds will be used to enhance medical facilities, provide advanced treatments, and support families in need.

As the community reflects on this achievement, there is a renewed sense of hope and solidarity. The Allegany County Shrine and Port Allegany Veterans organizations have set a powerful example of how collective efforts can make a significant impact. Their dedication and hard work have not only raised funds but also strengthened the bonds within the community.
