GLENSIDE, May 7 – State Rep. Ben Sanchez presented the Greater Glenside Patriotic Association with a ceremonial $50,000 check, commemorating the grant that will help fund a Memorial Day service and annual Independence Day parade in Glenside.

"Securing this funding is a major win for our community. This grant means that our cherished Fourth of July events, which bring us together to honor service and celebrate our nation, will continue to thrive," Sanchez said. “It’s my honor to bring this funding home and do my part to preserve our community’s meaningful traditions.”

The grant will benefit North Penn VFW Post 676’s Memorial Day ceremony, which is open to the public, and Glenside’s Fourth of July parade. This year’s parade will include live music, children’s programming at Renninger Park, special recognition to the 70+ fire companies that responded to the SPS Technologies fire and end with the annual fireworks show at the high school.
