What a blast!

With the help of emergency and safety personnel from multiple agencies, BWEF and Whitehall Borough Recreation hosted a Summer Safety Education section during the annual Baldwin-Whitehall School District We Are Neighbors event at Baldwin High School. Students were given a scavenger hunt worksheet with questions for each organization related to safety at home, in the community, at pools, and how to seek help from emergency officials if needed. Anyone who submitted a completed worksheet was eligible for a $20 Amazon gift card...
.. and nearly 100 students submitted a completed worksheet! Congratulations to the following students who were randomly selected for a gift card:

Polina B., Baldwin High School
Roger M., J. E. Harrison Middle School
A***n T., R. A. Lutz Elementary School
Tova P., Whitehall Elementary School

What a delicious night! The third annual Tastebuds Jr. Culinary Tasting Event raised ~$4,500 for Best Buddies Pittsburgh and for the Best Buddies clubs at Baldwin High School and J. E. Harrison Middle School! That's a 33% increase from last year!

The sold out crowd of 150 guests packed the R. A. Lutz Elementary School cafeteria for an evening of food and fun. It was a night like no other in the Baldwin-Whitehall School District and we'd like to thank everyone who helped make it special.

Visit our webpage for a full recap, a list of participants, and a photo gallery. Thank you for a fantastic fundraiser!
