SELINSGROVE, Pa. – The inaugural Sire Advertising Golf Marathon raised $4,700 for the Summer Seals Day Camp and the Donald Heiter Community Center. Shawn Felty, President of Sire, played 108 holes of golf on May 28 to raise funds to support the two organizations dedicated to helping children in the Susquehanna Valley.

On July 8, Mr. Felty presented a check to representatives at the Summer Seals Day Camp. A formal check presentation was held at the Donald Heiter Community Center on July 23. Golf Marathon sponsors had the option to select the organization of their choice, which determined the total amount that was raised for each program.

The Summer Seals Day Camp, based at Selinsgrove Area Middle School, selects 30 children each summer for a one-week program to help them improve their reading and/or mathematical skills. The Camp, led by a director, certified teachers, education students, and many volunteers, has produced remarkable results. The Camp also includes educational day trips to places like the Crayola Factory, the National Aquarium in Baltimore, and others.

The Donald L. Heiter Community Center, 100 N. Fifth Street in Lewisburg, opened in 1993. The Center was renamed for local police chief Donald L. Heiter, who was instrumental in starting the original Lewisburg Community Center along with other individuals from the community to develop an environment where local youth could interact responsibly. The Center is a valued community resource that hosts programs for all ages.

Sire Advertising is involved in a number of community-related organizations in the Susquehanna Valley, including the Buffalo Valley Kiwanis Club, Greater Susquehanna Valley United Way, Donald L. Heiter Community Center, Selinsgrove Rotary, and Susquehanna Industrial Development Corporation (SIDCO).
