POTTSTOWN, Pa. (Aug. 29, 2006) – The Limerick Generating Station Employee Association raised $65,000 at its third annual Limerick Generating Station Charity Golf Outing held Friday, Aug. 25 at Hickory Valley Golf Club in Gilbertsville, Pa. The money generated will be donated to 12 local charities.

"It is amazing to me how incredibly giving our employees and suppliers are that they would raise $65,000 for local charities,” said Ron DeGregorio, Limerick Vice President. “This event has grown into a wonderful day that benefits our community—the community that our 700 employees at Limerick live and work within.”

The proceeds will benefit:
1. Bridge of Hope BuxMont
2. Camp Rainbow
3. Carousel at Pottstown
4. Limerick Community Day
5. Pottstown-area Lacrosse Association for Youth (P.L.A.Y.) Viper Lacrosse
6. Pottstown Police Athletic League
7. Pottstown YWCA
8. Project Outreach
9. The Family YMCAs of Pottstown & Upper Perkiomen Valley
10. The Gallery School of Pottstown
11. Village Productions and the Tri-County Performing Arts Center Project
12. Western Center for Technical Studies’ Houses of Heroes

Jo Ann Short, President/CEO of the Family YMCAs of Pottstown & Upper Perkiomen Valley, said, "I was overwhelmed with the generosity of the folks bidding at the auction following the 18 holes of golf. They gave so generously as sponsors of the whole event and then gave even more individually during the course of the day. When I saw Ron DeGregorio’s reaction to the contributions, I knew it wasn't just me that noticed the compassion for the charities that benefited."

Short continued, “The gift from Limerick will assist with the startup costs of the YMCA's before and after school care at the four elementary schools in the Daniel Boone School District starting this school year, as well as replacement carpeting in the women's locker room at the Pottstown YMCA Branch. These expenses are hard to cover as they are, what we like to call, ‘one hit wonders’.”

Last year, the Employee Association gave $40,000 to the Pottstown Police Athletic League and the Family YMCAs of Pottstown and Upper Perkiomen Valley from the second annual golf outing. In three years, the group has raised $125,000 for local charities.

The sponsors of the event include: At the Platinum level: Advanced Specialty Contractors, Areva/Transnuclear, Babcock Service, Inc, Consolidated Power Supply, GE Energy, Jingoli Construction Company, Nuclear Logistics, Inc., RWE Nukem, Sargent & Lundy, Underwater Construction Corporation, Washington Group International, Williams Power and Williams Specialty, and Wyle Laboratories. At the Gold level: The Venture Group. At the Silver level: Matrix Service Company, WSI, and Target Rock Commercial Valve Business. At the Bronze level: Bartlett Nuclear.

The Limerick Generating Station Employee Association gives year round. The group sells tshirts commemorating the station’s refueling outages each spring. This year’s t-shirt proceeds totaling $14,000 went to six local charities.
