About

The David O'Connell Memorial Fund provides scholarships to Junior Firefighters and Junior First Responders in Central Pa.  In years where no scholarships are awarded donations are made in his name to the Port Matilda Volunteer Fire Company and BSA Troop 32. David was an active member of these organizations until he lost his battle with depression and took his own life on January 17th, 2021 at the age of 16.
