All Aboard Ellwood Inc. Recognizes Memorial and Honor Donations, Moves Closer to Fundraising Goal – Ellwood City, PA news

All Aboard Ellwood (AAE) continues to be grateful for the community’s response to its memorial and honor donation program. Since the organization’s last announcement, additional gifts have been received in memory and in honor of individuals who have touched the lives of their families, friends, and the Ellwood City community. This is the latest in a series of announcements recognizing these meaningful contributions. Each gift not only pays tribute to someone special, but also helps AAE move closer to its goal of creating a lasting place where Ellwood City’s railroad, industrial, and community history can be preserved and shared for generations to come. Memorial and Honor Donations Received In Memory of: Mary Jo Carusone Showalter Beverly Greenburg Eileen Bamford Jackie Powell Wade McDowell Lois Liebendorfer John Mohr Connie Kreshon Mike Fallin Robert Munnel – From The Ray Santillo family In Honor of: Sam Kasper from Debra Kasper The Board of Directors of All Aboard Ellwood extends its sincere appreciation to everyone who has chosen to remember or honor someone through a contribution to the project. These gifts are especially meaningful because they connect the people who helped build our community with a project dedicated to preserving its history. The Fundraising Effort Continues AAE also continues its fundraising efforts for the planned Industrial and Railroad Museum and community venue in downtown Ellwood City. The project will honor the important role the railroad and local industries played in the development of Ellwood City and the generations of men and women who worked in the mills, factories, businesses, and on the railroad. The planned facility, modeled after Ellwood City’s original railroad station, will provide a permanent home for local artifacts and history while creating opportunities for educational programs, community activities, and special events. AAE has made tremendous progress toward making this vision a reality, but the fundraising campaign is not yet complete. The organization continues to seek support from individuals, families, businesses, organizations, and foundations as it works toward the final funding needed for the project. Every contribution—large or small—brings AAE another step closer to completing this important community project. Memorial and honor donations continue to be accepted and may recognize a loved one, friend, coworker, family member, community member, or someone who has made a difference in the life of the donor.
