Patriots Path Council Receives Grant

MetLife Foundation recently awarded a Volunteer Ventures grant of $1,000 to the Patriots’ Path Council, Boy Scouts of America in support of a project proposed by Scouter Anthony Campasano, a MetLife employee who volunteers with the organization.  This year’s request will help to enhance the program at the Council’s Sabattis Adventure Camp, located in the Adirondacks by supplying a 29 foot long canoe which fits up to 14 paddlers.  This will enable the youth to add a competitive edge to their program while also enhancing the physical fitness and environmental aspects.

The Volunteer Ventures Program encourages and supports employee involvement at the local level in nonprofit organizations that work to improve the quality of life for all.  Grants are made for specific projects in which MetLife employees have continuing involvement as volunteers.

The Patriot’ Path Council serves 19,000 youth in Morris, Somerset, Sussex, Union and parts of Middlesex counties.  Among his other volunteer roles with his district and the council, Tony is the Chairman of the Year of Service Project for the BSA’s 100th Anniversary.
