    The 22nd Annual Joe Walton Celebrity Spring Classic, held last May, raised more than $70,000 for Robert Morris University Football. It allowed our football program to purchase new video equipment, team apparel, gifts for senior football players, sports nutrition supplements and assisted with team travel, scholarships and recruiting expenses. These additional funds also allowed us to renovate and upgrade a section of Joe Walton Stadium and the football locker room area by commissioning a graphic and pictorial history of the program to enhance the team area and give it a more modern appeal. Without your generosity, none of this would have been possible. 23RD ANNUAL The 23rd Annual Joe Walton Celebrity Spring Classic is set for Monday, May 16th at Beaver Valley Golf Club.

    24 October 26, 2010 The Sister Thea Bowman A reason to celebrate… Black Catholic Educational Foundation A day to give thanks… Thirteenth Annual Scholarship Dinner Thursday, April 16, 2009 Heinz Field, East Club Lounge On this date, The Sister Thea Bowman Black Catholic Edu- cational Foundation will celebrate twenty years of ministry and service to young African Americans. Through its efforts, the Foundation has given countless young people an education and offered them a reason to hope. Plans for this special October commemoration include a Mass “When we reach out in faith and trust, we love one celebrated by Most Reverend John H. Ricard, SSJ, Vice another into Life."

She always told us that she was what people called an “old folks” child. She grew up surrounded by the wisdom of the older peo- ple. They taught her how to preach, sing, and dance. They taught her how to survive and how to love. They taught her faith. They also taught her to strive and move up the ladder to success. Nonetheless, they always reminded her that there was someone below her and that it was her right and her responsibility to reach down and pull that person up to where she was. Thus, she could share her gifts that she had re- ceived from God and from the wisdom of the “old folks.” The black public schools were in a terrible state of affairs when Thea was in school.

  • RELEASE Newsports Museum Is Gem 7 17 12
    Press Release and News Media Contact: Alternate Media Contact: Ron Main, Chairman, Larry Bruno Foundation Bruce Downing, Odato Marketing Group 412-375-0300 x111 | [email protected] 412-760-4743 | [email protected] New Sports Museum is Hidden Gem Carnegie Free Library Beaver Falls Home to Hall of Achievement. Surprising Sports Treasures. Beaver Falls., PA, July 17, 2012— With the help of NFL stars, some very unique sports artifacts and a storied class of Circle of Achievement honorees, The Larry Bruno Foundation (LBF) will unveil its new Hall of Achievement Sports Museum at the Carnegie Free Library of Beaver Falls in a series of events on August 2-4, 2012. “You might expect a big city sports museum to have signed helmets, jerseys, and lots of game gear from NFL Pro Bowl players, but you might not expect that in Beaver Falls,” said Ron Main, Chairman of the Larry Bruno Foundation. Continuing, “Working with NFL legends like Joe Namath we plan to unveil some ‘hidden gems’ as our Foundation regularly contributes to a living, growing must-see exhibit for sports fans in Western Pennsylvania and the world.” Each year, the Larry Bruno Foundation, named for the legendary “Magical Coach” Larry Bruno, who spawned countless area coaches and who coached memorable players including Hall of Fame quarterback Joe Namath, will add to the displays in the Hall of Achievement. Some of this year’s additions include the Pro Football Hall of Fame Historic Hometown Plaque for Joe Namath, and the heaviest (and perhaps the most expensive) sports book ever published to chronicle the first 40 Super Bowls.
