Annual Joey Fabus race set
The Joey Fabus Superhero “Run Over DIPG” 5K Race/Walk will take place at 9 a.m. Sept. 17, with the course starting at Bethel Park High School and traversing local neighborhoods.
Joey Fabus was an 8-year-old boy diagnosed with an inoperable brain tumor in May 2014. His cancer, known as Diffuse Intrinsic Pontine Glioma (DIPG), has a survival rate of 0%. Joey passed away from DIPG on Jan. 21, 2015.

Food Assistance Match at market
The Bethel Park Farmers’ Market has joined the nonprofit Food Assistance Match program, which aims to enhance access to fresh and nutritious food from local farmers and small businesses for individuals and families facing need.
Through the match, food assistance programs like SNAP, WIC and the Farmers’ Market Nutrition Program can stretch their purchasing power, allowing beneficiaries to obtain up to three times more locally sourced food and goods.
FAM patrons visit the market and select their eligible items. Non-food purchases, alcohol and food truck selections are not eligible. Shoppers will receive a receipt for their selections and proceed to the Bethel Park Farmers’ Market tent to check out, rather than at individual vendor stalls.
The market operates from 3 to 7 p.m. Tuesdays, rain or shine, through the end of September in the parking lot near the South Park ice-skating rink, off Corrigan Drive. For more information, visit www.bethelparkfarmersmarket.com or call 412-851-2910.
