Volpe’s Sports Bar Makes Contribution to the Emmaus Main Street ProgramOn Wednesday, August 19th, Fran Volpe, owner of Volpe’s Sports Bar, contributed financial support to the Emmaus Main Street Program using the proceeds from two recent fund raisers.
Over the past two months, patrons, employees and owners of Volpe’s Sports Bar have been vying for the title of “Volpe’s Biggest Loser” – a weight loss program to help promote healthier bodies and to also raise funds to support local non-profit organizations.
In addition to this event, Volpe’s Sports Bar raised funds for the Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation, with a portion of the proceeds going to local non-profit organizations.
The Emmaus Main Street Program was pleased to learn that it had been selected as the local non-profit beneficiary and at Wednesday’s presentation, was able to express thanks and deep appreciation for this unexpected contribution.
Volpe’s Sports Bars, located at the corner of 5th & Broad Streets in Emmaus and at 19th & Tilghman Streets in Allentown, have been owned and operated by the Volpe family since 1941 and have always been a great spot for meeting friends, quenching your thirst, talking and watching sports or just kicking back. As one of the oldest sports bar, Volpe's knows how to take care of its patrons. You'll find a clean, relaxed atmosphere and terrific, finger foods, pizza, wings, sandwiches, platters, salads and much more. You'll always see major sporting events as well as local events on the big tv's. Volpe's has the latest lottery machine, CD juke box music, occasional live entertainment, ATM, pool, darts and much more.
Fran Volpe purchased the Emmaus location, formerly the Broad Street Hotel, almost two years ago with the intention of restoring the building as much as possible back to its original look and condition. “It’s going to be a long process”, noted Volpe. “There are 84 windows that need to be replaced, a sidewalk that needs to be repaired or replaced and exterior brick that needs to be re-pointed.” Volpe then added that he will take the time needed to do the job right.
The Emmaus Main Street Program, established in 1995, serves the Borough of Emmaus by helping to stimulate economic growth and stability, promoting the community beyond its borders, beautifying streets, sidewalks and facades, and increasing the quality of life for Emmaus’ businesses and residents.
