The Palmerton High School boys’ soccer team recently held a benefit game where it raised funds through a basket raffle and collected items to be donated to both the Carbon County Animal Shelter and the Carbon County Friends of Animals. The team raised $225 to be split between the two animal shelters and provided each shelter with a bin of donations from their respective wish lists. Some players gathered on Oct. 26 to deliver the funds raised and the donation bins to each shelter.At the top, pictured at the Carbon County Animal Shelter, from left, are shelter director Tom Connors and players Colton Stroup, Caleb Sommers and Ray Heimbach.
