BEAVER FEVER; WHEN THE PAST GIVES PRESENT FOR FUTURE

/in /by

EAST LIVERPOOL, OH- Through the partnership with Beaver Local School District, YSN was fortunate enough to be afforded the opportunity to follow around a couple of special Beaver Alum on a day that will not soon be forgotten.

Jamin Pastore (2001) and Derek Wolfe (2008) revisited their stomping grounds with a purpose and a new opportunity for Beaver Local athletes for years to come.  The pair are teaming up to donate $1,000,000 back to their alma mater in order to turf the football/soccer field and build an indoor facility in which student-athletes can train throughout the year without worrying about the weather.

It was truly a special day in which there were as many smiles as there were dollars exchanged.  Wolfe and Pastore would say throughout the day that if they could change the life of one child, that the donation would be well worth it.

As you take a look at the video throughout the day, it certainly didn’t take long for these two school standouts to go from home town heroes to Beaver Local Legends.
