Congratulations to Penn Manor High School teacher Benjamin Pongracz, winner of a Lombardo’s Restaurant $100 gift certificate. Ben qualified to receive the certificate by pledging $100 to the Penn Manor Education Foundation’s payroll deduction program.

The names of more than 100 staff members who pledged $100 or more were entered into a drawing for the certificate, which was sponsored by Tracy Seiger/Life Changes Realty.

Lombardo’s owner Michael Lombardo recently presented Ben with his award, good for a dinner at the restaurant or in Ben’s home.

Thanks to all staff members who participated in the fund drive, which generated more than $18,000 for PMEF scholarship and venture grant programs!
