Charities robbed of $2,000+

Someone stole more than $2,000 from a 2016 Farmington Poker Run that was intended for the Make-A-Wish Foundation of Greater Pennsylvania and West Virginia and the Farmington Fire Department.

No one has been caught.

Donna Costello, who was mayor at the time and currently serves on council, put the locked cash box with the biker registration money in the freezer of the town’s community building, which also was used as a food serving area, where participants and volunteers could get something to eat during the festivities.

That’s where she has put the money for 14 years.

This time, someone served themselves to more than $2,000.

 

Make-A-Wish got $1,000 from other money raised that was not in the lockbox. The Farmington Fire Department got nothing.
