About Pauly Friedman: Pauly Friedman was a Board Member at Family Service Association of NEPA (FSA). She served as Board Chair from 1988 through 1990 and organized the first fundraiser for FSA in modern history. Pauly also formed the Friends Committee, the volunteering fundraising arm of FSA. The Walk/Run is in memory of Pauly and her commitment to families. Proceeds raised from this event will benefit PA 211 NE/Help Line, Pauly’s favorite program at FSA.
In Honor of Pauly, the 15th Annual Pauly Friedman 5K Walk/Run will be held on Sunday, August 6th, at the Friedman JCC. This is a family-friendly event whose purpose is to highlight the importance of PA 211 NE/ Help Line in the communities where we live and work.
