I love hearing about good people who step up and help out our community and thanks to the deep pockets of a 1998 graduate, Maine Endwell High School is getting something they've wanted for a while.

Thomas Tull is Charmin of Legendary Entertainment and part owner of the Pittsburgh Steelers and has dug deep and pulled $2.2 million out of his wallet and given it to Maine Endwell High School so that they can have a new baseball field and lights for their football stadium.  How awesome is that?

What makes this story even more awesome is that the baseball field and the lights for the stadium are something the ME School District has really wanted, but they've run into some serious financial issues and have been looking into program and staff cuts to help alleviate some of that financial pressure.
