Fun Fore All Donation 2019

In February 2019, this locally owned family fun park donated $2,500 to the Seneca Valley Foundation (SVF). Specifically, the contribution will be used for four mini-grants that will benefit the students in three teacher classrooms at the Seneca Valley Senior High School.

Chris Camp, president and owner at Fun Fore All in Cranberry Township presented the check to staff on Feb. 21.

“We count it a privilege, really even a responsibility to partner with organizations in the local community,” Mr. Camp explained. “We exist to serve the people in our community, without them, we do not exist. We know that working with Seneca Valley is a great partnership. They are investing into the future of the community by building and growing the next generation of leaders which will in turn help the community to grow and prosper.”

Mini-grant winners and their projects are:
Mr. Joe Logsdon, senior high school honors engineering experimentation and graphic arts teacher – Robotics Equipment (two grants awarded)
Ms. Rachel McGourty, senior high school family and consumer science teacher – 3D Cutters
