DALLAS, Pa. — Employees, family, and friends of Friedman Electric, A Sonepar Company, participated in the 10th annual Pauly Friedman 5k, held at Misericordia University. All proceeds benefitted Help Line/2-1-1, a first response line for crisis calls. This helpline has been a loyal safety net for Northeastern Pennsylvania (NEPA) residents for the past 46 years. Last year, 85,420 calls were assisted.
Team Friedman consisted of 17 members, four of which brought home winning medals. Medal recipients were: Tyler Uravage, Tino Alunni, Clem Reck, and Gulnara Sadowski.
The Pauly Friedman 5k is done in honor of Pauly Friedman, former owner of Friedman Electric supply. Pauly was a Board Member at Family Service Association of NEPA. She served as Board Chair from 1988 through 1990 and organized the first fundraiser for Family Service Association of NEPA in modern history. Pauly also formed the Friends Committee, the volunteer fundraising arm of Family Service Association of NEPA.
