When tragedy struck Allentown and directly affected our members, the newly formed Teamster Local 773 Women’s Committee decided to do something to assist those in need.
They quickly organized a hoagie sale in hopes of raising funds for the Allentown Families Fund.
Nine hundred hoagies later, the proceeds totaled $2135 including direct donations from our members. The Teamsters Local 773 Women’s Committee thanks all of our members who made this fund raiser a huge success.
On Sunday, March 6, 2011, 33 Teamsters from nine companies participated in the Big Brothers Big Sisters Bowl For Kids Sake.
The bowlers raised of $2800 for the annual event and helped push Big Brothers Big Sisters of the Lehigh Valley over their goal of $165,000.
To date, over $175,000 has been raised to assist Big Brothers Big Sisters of the Lehigh Valley in their mission to provide mentoring services to at risk children in the Lehigh Valley.
