Sunday, September 29, 2019 was a
good day for the Lower Providence Township Fire Department and Emergency
Medical Services Department. Each
department received a $50,000 donation, for a total of $100,000, from money
raised at the Angela "Angie" Salveson Memorial Charity Golf Tournament
at the Club at Shannondell sponsored by local waste company J. P. Mascaro &
Sons.
Susan
Lee Mascaro, wife of Mascaro company president, Pat Mascaro, chaired the
Memorial Golf Tournament in memory of her mother, Angie Salveson, who for many
years was an active EMS member and who passed away four years ago.
Known
for her spunky demeanor and ability to brighten up every room she entered,
Angie's family and the Mascaro corporation felt that the Angie Salveson
Memorial Charity Golf Tournament was the perfect idea to combine her caring
personality and devotion to golf with the privilege of raising needed funds for
two Township organizations that are critical to the safety and well-being of
the Lower Providence community.
"My
mother was a warm, fun-loving person who cared deeply about her
community," said Susan Lee Mascaro.
"She discovered the joys of golf later in her life and it quickly
became her passion. We all concluded
that a golf tournament benefitting two important Township service organizations
would be a great way to honor her memory," added Mascaro.
144
golfers teed off at 11:00 a.m. on Sunday and enjoyed a great day on the links,
followed by cocktails, hors d'oeuvres and dinner. Helping to present the two $50,000 checks to
the Fire Department and the EMS Department were Township Supervisors Patrick
Duffy and Peter MacFarland.
