Darien Lake Theme Park Resort, PARC Management and its new philanthropic arm, The PARC Foundation, recently awarded the inaugural Jack Kemp Community Service Award to celebrate the life and work of the American politician, vice-presidential nominee and professional football player.
The award was presented to Hunter’s Hope, which aims to keep children safe and healthy by keeping them in school, fighting illiteracy, encouraging healthy mentoring relationships and supporting leadership development and higher education.
During the presentation ceremony last month, Hunter’s Hope CEO Jacque Waggoner accepted a commemorative plaque carved with the Jack Kemp Community Service Award logo and a carousel symbolising the magic of childhood. Additionally, a full-size, hand-painted carousel horse will be placed in Darien Lake Theme Park Resort’s wishing well garden.
