A delicious steak dinner was served, and the highlight of the event was a special presentation by Brad Bassi, honoring this year’s Legends of Commerce, The Bart R. Raitano Family. For over 60 years, the Raitano family has made a lasting impact on the Mon Valley through their business, Interstate Paper Supply Company (IPSCO), and their unwavering commitment to the community. Their incredible legacy and contributions to the Mon Valley community were rightfully recognized and deeply appreciated.
Golfers enjoyed 18 holes of golf, a silent auction, a putting contest, and numerous skill prizes throughout the day. Congratulations to our winners Dr. Brian Rudolph’s team claimed first place, and Washington County Chamber and Tourism Promotion took second place.
Each year, a portion of the proceeds from the Legends of Commerce golf outing supports scholarships for Mon Valley students pursuing higher education. This year’s recipients were Taylor McDaniel from Belle Vernon Area High School and Alex Hadsell from Charleroi High School. The chamber is proud to support these bright students and can’t wait to see all they accomplish in the future.
A special thank you from the chamber to everyone who participated, sponsored, donated, or volunteered. Leanna Spada, Executive Director stated, "It is because of the support of our members, that make events like this possible, and we’re already looking forward to next year!"
