With these latest awards, The Main Line Chamber Foundation will have given out more than $390,000 in scholarships to area students, the vast majority of which attend local colleges and universities. The Celebration of Hometown Heroes event was created to draw attention to and show appreciation for the service of the volunteer firefighters and EMTs who selflessly serve the entire Main Line area.

“The citizens who receive these scholarships are among the first responders, day or night, when emergencies occur throughout the Main Line area,” said John Durso, chairman of The Main Line Chamber Foundation Board of Directors.

“Residents of the Main Line often don’t realize what an important role these volunteers play in our communities, saving taxpayers millions of dollars that might otherwise go to fund professional emergency responders.”
