Some Keystone UNICO members met with Paul Spurgin, co-founder and executive officer of Keystone Warriors, at the Armed Services Memorial at Nay Aug Park, where they presented him with a $1,700 check.

The donation was made to the Keystone Warriors on behalf of the entire UNICO group as a result of UNICO’s recent Applebee’s Fundraiser.  Keystone Warriors offer various forms of aid to service men and women of Pennsylvania who have suffered from the negative effects from combat duty.
