CURVE, Pa.- Altoona Curve Charities, a 501c3 organization dedicated to supporting local youth programs and organizations that promote exercise, health, activity and education for the betterment of youth and community, is pleased to announce recipients of grant money and in-kind services for the record-setting 2023 grant cycle.

The 2023 grant cycle surpasses $100,000 for the first time after donating over $75,000 in its first year. Altoona Curve Charities raises money throughout the year through the purchase of 50/50 tickets at every home game. Donations are also accepted directly here.

‘We are proud of the record setting year Altoona Curve Charities had in 2023," said Curve GM Nate Bowen. "We cannot thank the Altoona Curve Booster Club enough for their help in selling the 50/50 tickets all season long and for our fans in helping make this record setting year possible, so that we can support so many great organizations that work toward the mission of promoting good, healthy, habits from a young age. We are aiming to top 2023’s record amount of funds raised in 2024 so we can help and partner with even more area non-profit organizations."
