St. Michael's Spaeth Hands Hanover Food Shelf Huge Check
The Pittsburgh Steelers tight end handed over a sizable sum to the local charity after raising more than $20,000 at his annual golf tournament.
Consider the 2011 Matt Spaeth Charity Golf Tournament a resounding success.
Monday, July 24, Spaeth himself stopped down to the Hanover Food Shelf to present director Helen Skutley with a check for $7,000.
That's about one-third of the more than $20,000 raised by this year's event, held last month.
