Theodore Roosevelt Elementary School Playground

 

In 2008, Theodore Roosevelt Elementary School in Cheektowaga constructed a new playground for their students.  The Foundation proudly made a donation to support the building of the playground.  Katherine Simonetta, Foundation Secretary, attended the ribbon cutting ceremony and accepted a plaque on behalf of the Detective Wasyl Potienko Memorial Foundation, Inc.

 

 

Cheektowaga Police “Do the Right Thing”

 

The Foundation is one of the proud sponsors of the Cheektowaga Police Department’s Do The Right Thing program.  This program honors youth who are leaders among their peers.  These students have committed “random acts of kindness” or simply “do the right thing”.  Any adult in the community can nominate a worthy student.

 

 

Roswell Park

 

The Detective Potienko Memorial Foundation was honored to present a Wii System, a Fisher Price Smart Cycle and other computer accessories to the Roswell Park Pediatric Center.  The games will allow children to have fun during their stay at the hospital. This donation was made possible by the funds raised at the Foundation’s Annual Golf Tournament.
