CRANBERRY TWP — The Cranberry Township Community Chest has attracted more than 250 donors who have given more than $343,000 to the 2015 Project of the Year.

That means the community chest already has enough money to buy a $130,000 emergency trailer for training, recruitment and educational purposes that can be used by every fire department in the county.

The money already raised is also enough to fund 10 permanent scholarships at Butler County Community College. Anyone who pledges two years of service to a volunteer fire department will be eligible for a scholarship.

Cranberry Township Supervisor Bruce Mazzoni, treasurer of the community chest, said the goal is to establish 15 to 18 permanent scholarships at BC3, which is why the organization must continue fundraising to hit its $500,000 goal.

“The scholarships will be named for those donors who give $20,000 or more to the project,” Mazzoni said. “I would love to get three or four more donors of that level but every bit helps, and we want to thank all the donors this week and in the past for their support.”
