On behalf of Coach McHale and the Dunmore football program, the Friends of the Bucks members want to say thank you to everyone who made the 3 events on Alumni Day and Youth Fundamentals Camp huge successes. In no particular order…

Thank you to the Dunmore School District for allowing Alumni Day and Youth Fundamentals Camp to be held on Saturday morning. The District always goes above and beyond for our student-athletes and the community in general.

Thank you to all the athletes who participated in camp. Your enthusiasm on such a hot day demonstrates why the Dunmore football program is successful year after year.

Thank you to the parents and guardians of the athletes for allowing your child to attend camp. There were heat related concerns and you believed in us enough to know we would take measures to keep your child safe.

Thank you to the alumni who braved the heat and came out to enjoy Alumni Day and Youth Fundamentals Camp. A special shout out to Mr. Earl Davis, age 89, who was our eldest alumnus in attendance. Once a Buck Always a Buck!

Thank you to “Team Sonny” lead by Brody McCarthy for making the formal presentation of the funds collected from the lemonade stand held at the Bucktown Musicfest in memory of Sonny Crotti. You are our future leaders on and off the field. Dunmore Proud!

Thank you to the members of the Dunmore School District maintenance staff. You are always there to meet our needs. You worked in the heat for two days to get everything ready for camp and then take it all down when it was over. You are the best!

Thank you to Ms. Maureen Burke-Maluso for being the athletic trainer for camp. Safety for all those involved was a top priority.

Thank you to all who answered our request for portable tents/canopies. It was definitely the hottest camp day we’ve had.

Thank you to all the people who volunteered as coaches for camp. You are why camp was a great event.

Thank you to Kurt Buaman for being this year’s distinguished alumnus and speaking to our camp participants.

Thank you to Tim Drewes Photography for designing our great shirts. You allowed us to honor the memories of three individuals- Coach Henzes, Sonny Crotti and Mr. Montaro- who held special places in the football program. Nunzis Advertising did a wonderful job putting your vision on the shirts.

Thank you to Mr. Tony “Ingy” Ingargiola for being our photographer/videographer for camp. Check out his work in the separate posts capturing the camp festivities.

Thank you to Jim and his staff from The Fireside Martini Grill for catering our lunch. It wasn’t an easy task cooking at hot grills during a heat wave.

Thank you to The Bistro at the Holiday Inn East for allowing alumni and fans (21+) to gather on Friday night. The hospitality shown by Corey and his staff was exceptional. The alumni and fans who came helped to convert some Bistro patrons to Bucks fans!

Thank you to Mike and the entire staff at Buddy Clarke’s for allowing alumni and fans (21+) to reconnect on Saturday night. After a hot morning at camp, the alumni and fans in attendance truly enjoyed having a cold beverage in the evening and Buddy Clarke’s was a great location to end our events weekend.

Thank you to The Dunmorean for helping us promote our events. There’s nothing better than a hometown paper.

If there were people missed, we apologize and thank you too. As we always say, we couldn’t do what we do without you. You are the TRUE members of the Friends of the Bucks!

Thank You!
Tony, Mary Ann, Timmy, Pat, J.J. and Robert
