The August Open Fund of The Luzerne Foundation is a shining example of how generosity and community spirit can make a meaningful difference in the lives of others. Founded by Justin Coyne, with the unwavering support of committee members Michael Stacey, Ralph Donato, and Eric Yashinski, the organization is dedicated to three key principles: helping people, bringing the community together, and creating lasting memories at its signature events.
Each year, August Open selects a local charity to support, focusing its efforts on causes that directly benefit individuals and families in the area. By prioritizing local needs, the organization not only amplifies its impact but also fosters a sense of unity and purpose among neighbors, friends, and supporters.
The next exciting event hosted by August Open is the highly anticipated Charity Gala, scheduled for March 1st at The Banks in Pittston. This elegant evening will bring the community together for a night of celebration, connection, and generosity, all while raising funds for a vital cause. If you would like to attend this year’s August Open Charity Gala, visit luzfdn.org/event/august-open-fundraiser/ to register.
In addition to the Charity Gala, August Open also hosts an annual golf tournament, a favorite among community members. The organization is excited to announce plans to introduce a third event later this year, further expanding its efforts to unite the community and support meaningful causes. Through these events, August Open continues to inspire positive change, proving that when people come together with a shared purpose, they can achieve extraordinary things. Join them in making a difference and celebrating the power of community and compassion.
