The Power to Make a Difference
The Luzerne Foundation supports 7 key areas, that together, support a healthy and sustainable community.
Let’s Make It Social
Visit Luzerne County recently presented The Luzerne Foundation with a framed photo collage of the recent unveiling of a new Babe Ruth historical marker in Kirby Park. The marker commemorates the 650-ft. home run that Ruth hit at Artillery Park on October 12, 1926, and was erected to coincide with the 100th anniversary of the home run and this year’s Babe Ruth Sultan of Swat Home Run Derby. It stands near the main softball field at Kirby Bark, near where the home run ball landed and where Babe Ruth derby is held.The marker was a collaborative project between Visit Luzerne County, the City of Wilkes-Barre, the The Luzerne Foundation and the Luzerne County Sports Hall of Fame. Shown, from left: Alan Stout, Executive Director, Visit Luzerne County; Dave Pedri, President & CEO of The Luzerne Foundation. The 4th annual Babe Ruth Sultan of Swat Home Run Derby will return in October of 2027. All proceeds benefit the Geisinger Children’s Miracle Network/Janet Weis Children’s Hospital.
