The first place March For Parks team!

The athletes and coaches walk in the annual "March For Parks", a fund raiser held by Westmoreland County Parks and Recreations.  All of the funds raised go to the Westmoreland County Parks and Recreations Fund in the Community Foundation of Westmoreland County and will be used to help Keep Westmoreland County Green!

We are proud of our involvement in the March For Parks and look forward for next year so we may once again defend our title as the Top Fundraising Team.
