Plum Boro, PA. - - - A GoFundMe effort to help Nesbit’s Lanes in Plum exceeded its $100,000 goal with the help of an athletic alumnus.

The page was created Jan. 29 by Verona bowler David Poremba, who heard about how the covid pandemic had caused league games to be canceled and hundreds of players to stay off the lanes weekly.

The fundraising closed Feb. 1 with just under $124,300 raised from about 1,000 donors.
