PHILADELPHIA (CBS) — The Phillies honored community heroes on Monday night with a special salute. One local organization received a “game-changing,” salute from the team.
“We rely 100 percent on donations like this,” Sunny Longordo said. Longordo is a member of the Garden State Underwater Recovery Rescue and the $10,000 grant, her group received from the Phillies on Monday, will go a long way to aiding the effort.
The members of the group dive when other won’t, or can’t.
“We love to dive,” Longordo said.
Exactly one year ago to the day Monday, a volunteer with Garden State recovered the body of Shane Montgomery in the Schuylkill River.
