2017 Five Alarm 5K Raises $6,000 for Perkasie Volunteer Fire Company and Firefighter Scholarships

By

The results are in from this year’s Five Alarm 5K and Two-Mile Fun Run! Thanks to the efforts of 72 runners, 28 business sponsors, 26 raffle prize donors, and many volunteers, $6,000.00 was raised as a result of the November 4 event.

We recently had the pleasure of joining our event co-presenters — Bucks County Community College’s Upper Bucks Campus and  Sisters U — to present the proceeds.  The Perkasie Volunteer Fire Company received $5,400.00, which they will use to buy accessories for the BullEx BullsEye portable fire extinguisher training unit they purchased with the 2016 Five Alarm 5K proceeds. The Bucks County Community College Foundation received $600.00 for firefighter scholarships.

“We’re grateful for the initiative and generosity of the presenting organizations,” said Brian Irvin, Perkasie Fire Company president. “This is the second year that they’ve come to us with the desire to do something for the fire company. These funds will definitely be put to good use.”

The Five Alarm 5K is a timed race, with timing services provided by Pretzel City Sports. Stephanie Savastano repeated her win in the Women’s category with a time of 20:39. Ethan Saville’s run time of 17:08 earned the overall top spot in the Men’s category.

2015 Year in Review at Weber Kracht and Chellew

By

2015 Year End Blog Montage

As we pause before celebrating the arrival of 2016, we want to thank our friends, clients, and colleagues for a meaningful and successful 2015. We don’t exist without you and we are so very glad you choose us to represent, guide and advise you during the most important times of your lives.

It is also because of you that we are able to be supportive of the community we serve. This year alone we collaborated with Bucks County Community College for the Bebop Bolt at Bucks Color Dash, raising $4,300 in scholarship funds for BCCC students and the young musicians of Got Strings? Youth Orchestra.

We had the opportunity to mingle with the “Business After Hours” mixer we co-hosted at the firm with Sisters U and the Pennridge Chamber of Commerce. It’s always a pleasure to meet new people and catch up with old friends.

Santa joined the firm – for a day – and accompanied attorney Mike Frisbie’s team to Rockhill Mennonite Community’s Personal Care Center. It’s one of the highlights of the year to spend time handing out presents and singing carols with the residents.

And we had the privilege of collaborating with ten fellow local businesses to collect 897lbs of winter clothing for Pennridge FISH. It doesn’t get much better than that.

We close this year with “Promise” as our word of the month. It is our desire that your year ends on a note of promise for a wonderful, healthy and prosperous 2016.

We’re still humming from the great sounds provided by the Got Strings? Youth Orchestra at the “Bebop Bolt at Bucks!” Color Dash, which went on without a hitch on its rescheduled date of Sunday, October 11, 2015. Unlike the weather on the original date of October 4, runners had clear skies for this colorful event, held at Bucks County Community College’s Upper Bucks Campus.

Thanks to our generous sponsors and spirited runners, $3,397.46 was raised to benefit scholarships for both Got Strings? Youth Orchestra and Bucks County Community College scholarships.

Thanks to the Bucks County Herald and Perkasie Olde Towne Improvement Association for their event coverage.

Many thanks to Bucks County non-profit Sisters U, Bucks County Community College and Perkasie Borough for making such a terrific team!

Here are some more photos from the day – thanks to Stephen Brown and Looking Glass Photography for always making us look great!
