Air Show Officials Donate $14,000 to City Schools, Krempels Center

Brain Injury Association of New Hampshire, the Daniel Webster Council Boy Scouts of America and Service Credit Union officials presented contributions of $14,000 each to Portsmouth High School and the Krempels Center.

The donation was part of the proceeds from the 2012 Service Credit Union Boston-Portsmouth Air Show featuring the United States Navy Blue Angels.

Proceeds from the air show also helped support two organizations, Brain Injury Association of New Hampshire and the Daniel Webster Council Boy Scouts of America, as well as a multitude of other New Hampshire non-profit organizations including Make-A-Wish Foundation.

“Service Credit Union was delighted to be the proud title sponsor of the 2012 Service Credit Union Boston-Portsmouth Air Show at the Portsmouth International Airport at Pease. As the title sponsor of this tremendous event, we are honored to take a leadership role in serving our communities,” says Karen Benedetti, Vice President of Marketing at Service Credit Union.  “We take pride that we can help our local organizations with some of the proceeds from the air show.”

Daniel Webster Council Boy Scouts of America Executive Director Mike Kauffman and Brain Injury Association of New Hampshire Executive Director Steve Wade were on hand as Benedetti presented the check to Portsmouth High School Principal Jeffrey Collins during a recent Pease Development Authority meeting.
