To the Editor,

On Saturday, May 29, 2021, Stronger Together held a fundraiser at Ogdensburg Bowl. Stronger Together is a local group whose mission is to provide support and accolades for Ogdensburg’s First Responders, including our Fire and Police Departments, and our Volunteer Rescue Squad, recognizing their faithful 24/7service to our community. The Bowling Tournament was a resounding success of fun and funds! With the help of dozens of businesses and volunteers we raised $2386.00! And that is even after expenses!

Great thanks to the following businesses and individuals for donations of all sorts:

If we missed any donors, we apologize sincerely. The event was an overwhelming success with your help.

Stronger Together also thanks its members without whose help this event would not have been possible, let alone the success that it was.
