Park receives $2K donation
ZELIENOPLE — The community park received a welcome surprise Tuesday morning.
The park association got a $2,000 donation from a charitable partnership between Peoples Natural Gas and Goodfello's.
Peoples is leading the “Eat, Drink, Help” program, in which the gas company partners with a local business that then chooses a charitable endeavor for the donation.
“We have gotten a lot of positive feedback,” said Beverly Wogan, community relations representative for Peoples.
“It's a great opportunity to reach out to local businesses and charities.”
The program is taking place in Butler, Beaver and Allegheny counties, but Wogan said Peoples plans to expand the program.
Jeff Barkley, president of the community park association's board of directors, said the partnership is a good opportunity to raise money.
“What a great way to engage,” Barkley said.
