Auchinachie donates $1,000 to Whitney Point Civic Association
BROOME COUNTY, N.Y. (WIVT/WBGH) – The charitable branch of Auchinachie, called Auchinachie CARES, recently donated $1,000 to a local nonprofit dedicated to empowering the community through athletics and activities.
The Whitney Point Civic Association began serving the community in 2024. It works to create additional opportunities for youth sports and events in northern Broome County.
Since its inception, it has extended the season for several athletes with baseball, basketball, and girls' soccer programs.
President of WPCA Sean Walsh says there is an unmet need for accessible sports and community services in the rural parts of the county.
'We identified that we had a bunch of athletes that wanted to do additional seasons, so we said, 'Hey, let's figure it out and do it right.' With that, we had folks reach out to us and say 'Hey, well what if we do some community service stuff to try to tie it in.' As a small town, everybody is pitching in, and it's up to us to make the town what we want it to be,' said Walsh.
The donation will help fund the organization's annual golf tournament, which supports the baseball and basketball programs.
The WPCA also hosts several community programs. Its next event is on Saturday. It will be hosting a Healthy Relationships and Boundaries class, followed by a sound bath and meditation.
