GLLV Chamber Holds 2nd Annual Ladies Golf ‘n Gab — Benefits Blackburn Center —
BY MIKE DUDURICH Golf outings have become an increasingly popular method of raising funds for organizations of all types, including the non-profits. “Golf allows people to make a contribution to something they normally wouldn’t,” said Jerry Supko of Commercial Bank & Trust of Pa. and assistant treasurer on the board of the Greater Latrobe-Laurel Valley Chamber. “It helps to expose people to non-profits and makes them aware of the charity.”
He should know. He’s the chairman of the committee that puts on the very popular GLLV Golf Classic and Dinner Event and is on the committee for the Rotary Club of Latrobe’s annual golf outing. The whole package came together on Friday, May 20 when the second annual Greater Latrobe-Laurel Valley Chamber of Commerce Ladies Golf n Gab will be held at Glengarry Golf Links. The event was presented by Kattan Ferretti Insurance and Commercial Bank & Trust of Pennsylvania and ben-
efited Blackburn Center Against Domestic and Sexual Violence. Supko is also on that organization’s board of directors. “The purpose of the event is to bring together some ladies who love to golf and are interested in helping to benefit the incredibly important mission of Blackburn Center,” said Denise Martin, the GLLV’s director of membership. “To ladies especially, this non-profit has special meaning. I think we all know someone who has been affected by domestic violence.”
