The Luzerne Foundation’s 4th Annual Community Champion Award Dinner brought our community together for an inspiring evening at the Westmoreland Club—raising funds to support the nonprofits doing vital work across our region.

Thanks to the generosity of our supporters, we awarded a record $175,000 in grants, including $10,000 awards to five standout organizations and $5,000 grants to 25 additional nonprofits.

We were proud to honor this year’s Community Champions—Allan & Sue Kluger, Building Blocks Learning Center, and John Lisman—for their leadership and commitment to making Northeastern Pennsylvania stronger.

Together, we’re Here for good.
