BSA Cub Scout Pack 7004 Fundraisers
The Cub Scouts of Pack 4 participated in
several 2025 service projects and fundraisers
through August, including a Pinewood Derby,
Spice Sales, Blue & Gold Banquet, and Main
Street Market Days. These events help
reinforce the Scout Oath, Scout Law and Scout Motto for
the boys and girls of the Pack and to experience civic
engagement in a meaningful way. They practiced working
with tools, formed bonds with each other and helped their
neighbors in the Steel Valley
community. The Pack would
like to extend a sincere thank
you to the GCU for your
financial support through the
Community Matching Funds
program.

Laugh for Hope
Laugh4Hope 2025 hit all the marks for a success. Over
700 people attended the August 28 event. Old friendships
reunited, new friendships were forged, people supported
each other and learned about new faith-filled opportunities,
and we all laughed! Life Choice’s considered it a fabulously
successful event. Goals of the organization for the event
included: creating an affordable, wholesome, family-friendly
event for the community; encouraging the youth of today in
morals and responsibility that will be advantageous for them
as they move into adulthood and educating the community on
the work they do. The event raised over $61,000. to support
00
pro-life education programs. Attendees appreciated the
opportunity to learn about the clinic and its programs for the
Culture of Life.
