(0 - 15:00) Jon Casey joins us in the studio to discuss his new nonprofit idea, Build N Athlete. Currently making it way through nonprofit status, the idea for Build N Athlete is to assist families in purchasing athletic supplies for their children. The group started in the Valley View school district and has spread to the surrounding areas. Casey hopes to spread the group across NEPA and is running in the Steamtown Marathon this October to raise money for Build an Athlete. Casey is also working on #OperationTouchGrass – an initiative that gets kids off screens and the couch and outdoors and in local sports. Learn more at Build-N-Athlete om Facebook

(15 - 16:33) Veterans Voices host Nick Toma stops by Patriots Cove in Noxen to learn about a new project that’s underway. The local nonprofit aiming at helping veterans is creating a handicap accessible underwater observatory – the first of its kind in the US. The freestanding and self-sustaining observatory is essentially an “aquarium in nature” meant to help the clients of the cove in their adjustment to life after service.

(16:34 - 30) It's time for back to school, and the local YMCA has everything you need to succeed! Greater Scranton YMCA Marketing Director Meghan Carnevale tells listeners about a 5K / 1 mile walk fundraiser on September 28. Proceeds benefit the Y's financial assistance program, which helps the nonprofit not turn anyone away for an inability to pay. The Greater Scranton YMCA also has openings left for their new Early Learning Center in Olyphant, which opened in April. The center can assist with daycare, before and after school care. The Greater Scranton YMCA offers a plethora of youth activities and program, including a youth spots scholarship! The scholarship offers one free month, but there's only a few scholarships left!
