On Saturday, June 26th, the Drexel Hill Volunteers hosted the 2nd Annual Hero Scholarship Fund Softball Game, this time at the Glen Mills School in Thornbury Township, Delaware County. Last year's event was able to raise $1,500 for the fund, which provides scholarship money to the family members of fallen Delaware Counrty police, fire, and EMS personell. The volunteers suffered a 1-0 loss to the Philadelphia NBC10 News team last year at Campbells Field in Camden, NJ. This year the vollies were out for revenge, but more importantly, the goal was to increase the amount of money raised, as well as awareness of the cause. This year's event was bigger than the last and featured fun and games for all in attendance, including between inning mini-games and raffles. Despite a valiant effort once again, the NBC10 Fightin' Peacocks slipped away with a 12th inning victory, defeating our boys and girls 12-11. All involved are still very proud of the outcome, as this year's event was able to raise an impressive $2,000 for the fund. We look forward to continuing this tradition and hope to raise even more money next year. We would also like to thank the following people/organizations who made this year's event possible: Mellon Certified Restoration (event sponsor), McDonald's, Holiday Inn Express, Fast Signs, The Philadelphia Eagles, The Philadelphia 76ers, The Drexel Hill Fire Company Ladies' Auxiliary, The Spina Family, and The Picozzie Family. Additionally, we would like to thank all of those who came out to show support, those who could not come out but made a donation, and also to all the members who worked hard to make this event a success.
