Castonguay Family Wins Heinz Award

For the past 16 years, the Castonguay family of Mt. Lebanon has been unwavering in its commitment to a group of "at-risk" teenage boys who reside at a Mt. Lebanon group home called the Academy House.

"We've gone to visit and bring treats one afternoon a week from the time my youngest daughter, Brenda, was 3 years old," said mom Elizabeth Myers Castonguay.

For the family's efforts, the United Way Alexis de Tocqueville Society has selected the Castonguays to receive the John Heinz award. The award was named after the late Sen. John Heinz, an advocate for families.
