Wheeling, W.Va. (WTRF) – During the Undo’s Upper Ohio Valley Italian Heritage Festival, myself, along with 7NEWS reporter Jake McGlumphy, took part in the annual dunk tank to raise money for Easterseals.

The dunk tank is organized by the Ohio Valley Trades and Labor Assembly, and features local leaders and familiar faces stepping up to get dunked for charity.

Today Jake and I dropped off a check for $485 to the Easterseals Rehabilitation Center here in Wheeling.

We want to give a big thank you to Dave Cantrell and all the members of the Ohio Valley Trades and Labor Assembly for making this possible.

You can learn more about Easterseals and the great work they do in the Ohio Valley by visiting their website.
