Thank You, Mike and Donna!

We’d like to take a moment to thank Mike and Donna Eruzione for their recent generous donation to the Winthrop School Department for the purchase of defibrillators for all of the town’s schools.

The Eruziones, through their family’s charity, Winthrop Charities, have made countless donations over the years to many Winthrop organizations, with a particular focus on our town’s schools and youth.

Legends come and legends go, but Mike Eruzione, who played a pivotal role in the Miracle on Ice when the U.S. men’s ice hockey teams won the gold medal at the 1980 Winthrop Winter Olympics with his goal that beat the Russians in the semifinals (named by Sports Illustrated as the Greatest Sports Moment of the 20th century), never has forgotten his roots and the community where he grew up.

Mike and Donna have done it again — and we know we join with all of our fellow residents in thanking them for their generous gift that will make our schools a safer place for everyone.
