Tony is a product of Hopewell High School and the University of Pittsburgh.
To continue the enhancement of education in the community, two Beaver County Seniors will be recognized as “Outstanding Students of the Year” and be awarded scholarships for secondary education and one teacher as “Educator of the Year”. Additionally, in honor of Tony Dorsett’s hometown, The Gala will provide funding to support additional Beaver County causes. A grant to renovate the home of a military veteran will also be presented.
The Tony Dorsett VIP Reception includes heavy hors d’oeuvres, open bar, meet & greet and photos with Tony Dorsett. Each VIP sponsor also gets a signed group photo with Tony Dorsett.
