The Tinicum Township community gathered in support of the Cole Gatti Scholarship Foundation over the weekend.
The scholarship fundraising event was held at the Fox Smith VFW Post 4845 Auxiliary on Saturday as local businesses stepped up and donated food and raffle baskets. There was also a 50/50 raffle to raise scholarship funds. "A million thank yous in a million worlds will never be enough for what everyone has done for Cole," said Jennifer Gatti, Cole’s mother.Cole was tragically killed in a car crash on April 5, 2023, just a few months shy of his 17th birthday.

His mother would also like to expand the financial support for students who want to enter the medical field.Abbie Hilter grew up going to school with Cole and said she’s thankful to be part of a close-knit community that is keeping his memory alive.As a dancer in her senior year of high school, Hilter chose to dedicate her solo performance to Cole.
