Bruni was appointed to the WPIAL Football Steering Committee in 1978. One year later, he was elected to the WPIAL Board of Directors. He served for 14 years as a member of the Board of Directors. His leadership and support were instrumental in starting the league’s scholar-athlete program. Since its inception in 1992, the WPIAL has awarded $566,000 in scholarship grants to deserving scholar-athletes. While on the Board, he served four years as WPIAL Treasurer and represented the WPIAL on the PIAA Board of Directors from 1990-93. Upon retiring from the WPIAL Board of Directors, he remained active by serving on the scholarship committee for several years. Always willing to help, Bruni also served the WPIAL as the PA announcer at the football and basketball championships for several years in the 1980’s.
