This publication is dedicated to the memory of Founding WCCF

Trustee Juliana J. Uram. Small in stature, Julie was a giant in the

world of philanthropy. In recognition of her service to the WCCF,

as well as many other charities, she received the WCCF Woman of

Philanthropy Award in 2007, an award presented only once in the

Foundationʹs 17 years of operations.

From new records in contributions and grant‐making to new opportuni‐

ties to serve the Washington County community, the WCCF had many rea‐

sons to continue its celebration of the Art of Giving this past year. But for

every accomplishment in the spotlight, there have been many supporters

“behind the scenes” who deserve a standing ovation for sharing their time,

talents, and treasures with us.

The extraordinary generosity of our donors, who contributed an as‐

tounding $5,900,000 to our Foundation, made 2012 the WCCF’s most suc‐

cessful fundraising year in our history. Five new permanent grant‐making

funds were announced including: the Sgt. Russell L. Crupe, Jr. Fund, Cham‐

bers‐Phelan Fund, Stanley & Mary Pruss Charitable Fund, Armand C.

Dellovade Charitable Fund, and the Olivia Scott Scholarship Fund. Addi‐

tionally, the Foundation established its first pass‐through post‐secondary

scholarship: the Washington Community Federal Credit Union Scholarship.

The WCCF also distributed more than $600,000 in grants to local chari‐

ties, bringing our cumulative total to more than $3,000,000 in distributions!

It is wonderful to consider the impact that every one of those dollars has

made in our community.

Finding new and innovative ways to promote the WCCF and its services

continues to be a priority. We initiated the year with the Get Local to Give

Local contest sponsored by Comcast in which the five charities featured in

our Art of Giving video (the David Bradford House, Little Lake Theatre,

Pennsylvania Trolley Museum, Washington Community Arts & Cultural

Center, and Washington Symphony Orchestra) endeavored to get the most

views through On Demand. For their participation, the charities received a

total of $3,500 in Arts Fund grants.

Speaking of new technology, you may have noticed that we recently re‐

designed our website – enhancing both its aesthetic appeal and its function‐

ality. We are especially proud of the site’s donation portal which enables

contributors to make secure credit/debit card gifts to WCCF funds and par‐

ticipating local 501(c)(3) charities (a service that is offered at no cost to these

organizations). Additionally, we entered the social media arena by estab‐

lishing both a Facebook page and a Twitter account in hopes of strengthen‐

ing existing relationships as well as making new connections with the “next

generation” of supporters.

It is our belief that acts of exceptional giving and service are worthy of

recognition, and we would be remiss if we did not laud the dedication of

Chairman’s

5

those whose efforts have played an integral role in the

Foundation’s growth: our Board of Trustees. The

WCCF created a new award in 2012 to recognize indi‐

viduals who serve as exemplary members of the Board,

wholeheartedly sharing his or her time, talent, and

treasures to support the Foundation and its mission –

the Richard L. White Excellence Award for Board Service.

The award bears the name of a Founding Trustee and

Past Chairman whose long‐standing commitment to us

is unparalleled.

The Foundation was also thrilled to be approved for

a $125,000 one‐to‐one matching grant for the Arts Fund

from The Heinz Endowments, which required $125,000 in local contribu‐

tions. At year’s end, we were approximately 89% towards our goal thanks

to the contributions of many enthusiastic supporters of the arts, including

Carol Berthold and her late husband, Alvin, who led the campaign with a

generous lead gift of over $52,000. This initiative will help us to signifi‐

cantly build the grant‐making capacity of the Arts Fund, increasing its an‐

nual grant from $1,000 to $10,000.

Finally, late in the year we announced plans for an ambitious new pro‐

ject designed to help charities serving Washington County – a community‐

wide day of giving called WCCF Gives. On September 10, 2013, each dona‐

tion made to a participating charity via www.wccfgives.org will be increased

by a percentage of a $100,000 match pool! What makes WCCF Gives so ex‐

citing is that the more money designated by donors to a specific charity, the

greater the amount that charity will receive from the match pool (so there is

no limit to what each charity can raise). We encourage you to visit

www.wccfgives.org to learn how in just one day, you can make a difference.

As 2012 draws to a close, so too does our Art of Giving marketing theme,

which has framed nearly all of our initiatives the past two years. Before the

curtain drops on this campaign, we invite you practice the Art of Giving by

making a gift to one of our pooled funds: the Acorn Fund, the Arts Fund, or

the Mother’s Fund. Your support will help to ensure that we will continue

to reach new grant‐making milestones in the years to come.

Warm regards,

William M. Campbell

Chairman of the Board

The history of the

Washington County

Community Foun‐

dation cannot be

told without

highlighting the

significant contribu‐

tions of time, talent,

and treasures of

Richard L. White.

Friends of the

Foundation cer‐

tainly are aware of his most recent

service: as an exemplary Chairman

of the Board. But, his devotion to

this organization can be traced

back to our origins. In fact, long

before the Foundation was formed,

Richard was already one of our

greatest advocates.

During the six years that it took

the WCCF to secure our first

$1,000,000 in charitable assets,

Richard served as Board Treasurer.

His capable leadership helped the

Foundation to navigate through

the challenges posed by an uncer‐

tain future.

Almost a decade later, Richard

was at the helm as the Foundation

experienced two incredible years:

an unprecedented $3.4 million in

donor contributions in 2010 fol‐

lowed by a record‐breaking

$481,000 in grants awarded in 2011.

He continues to

serve the Commu‐

nity Foundation as

Immediate Past

Chairman on the

Executive Commit‐

tee, and he led the

effort to raise the

necessary contribu‐

tions to secure a

matching grant for

the Arts Fund from

the Heinz Endowments.

During a surprise presentation

at the 2012 Legacy Celebration,

fellow Trustee Charles Keller an‐

nounced the creation of a perpetual

award in Richard’s name for exem‐

plary board service to the WCCF.

During the surprise presenta‐

tion, Chuck said, “Richard, you

know what is takes to be an effec‐

tive member of a charitable board;

and your service to the Commu‐

nity Foundation has set the stan‐

dard for other Trustees to emulate.

In the future, this award will

recognize Trustees who have dem‐

onstrated a commitment to the

Foundation beyond the ordinary.

Tonight, on behalf of the Commu‐

nity Foundation Board of Trustees

and Staff, I present the inaugural

Richard L. White Excellence Award

for Board Service to you.”

Richard L. White Excellence Award for Board Service

Charles C. Keller Excellence Award for Corporate Philanthropy

The underserved and the under‐

privileged are much more than

charitable causes to the employees

of CentiMark Corporation. They

are people who have faces, names,

and profound appreciation for

things such as a meal, a place to

stay, or shoes for their children.

Perhaps the company itself says

it best: “while roofing and flooring

is our business, giving back to the

community is our commitment.”

Nationally, hundreds of charities

receive volunteer or financial sup‐

port through CentiMark and the

CentiMark Foundation. The recipi‐

ents range from the hungry, the

homeless, and at‐risk children to

abused women, displaced veter‐

ans, and senior citizens. No matter

how much good the company does

in a year, Founder Edward B.

Dunlap always encourages his em‐

ployees to find a way to “do more

next time.” And they enthusiasti‐

cally set out to do just that.

The company’s grassroots phi‐

losophy of giving back began dec‐

ades ago. As CentiMark Founda‐

tion Executive Director John

Rudzik recalls, “One day we were

told to come into the office the next

day in casual clothes. We ended

up at the Jubilee Soup Kitchen in

Pittsburgh…Ed wanted us to ex‐

perience what it was like to have a

meal there.” In the years since,

CentiMark employees have been

moved by visits to every soup

kitchen and mission in the area.

When CentiMark recognizes a

human service need in the commu‐

nity, without hesitation and with‐

out fanfare, it works to address

that need. The company annually

supports many local charities in‐

cluding: Washington Christian

Outreach, Washington City Mis‐

sion, Junior Achievement, police

and volunteer fire programs, the

Make‐a‐Wish Foundation, and the

Greater Washington Food Bank

and its pantries. CentiMark also

works with social service agencies

to identify families who are strug‐

gling and provide food, as well as

special surprises like Easter baskets

and back‐to‐school clothes, to them

throughout the year. On Fridays

CentiMark employees, including

President & COO Timothy M.

Dunlap and his wife, Teri, take to

the road to deliver Meals on

Wheels to seniors in Peters Town‐

ship. Participants often go the

“extra mile,” lending a hand with

household tasks. “When drivers

report a problem back to Centi‐

Mark, there is immediate action to

fix it…during one very hot sum‐

19


mer, drivers ex‐

pressed their concern

about clients who had

no air conditioning.

CentiMark immedi‐

ately purchased and

installed window air

conditioners for those

who were suffering,”

wrote Meals on

Wheels Director

Susan T. Ruether

Hanawalt.

Besides working to

feed seniors, the com‐

pany sponsors the

Blessings in a Back‐

pack program, which provides

over 700 underprivileged students

with nutritious snacks for the

weekend.

“Giving back to the community

hasn’t shaped the company cul‐

ture…it is the company culture.

It’s been ingrained in us for years.

Now we have the resources to do

more,” said Tim Dunlap. “Centi‐

Mark is proud to be named a re‐

cipient of the Charles C. Keller Excel‐

lence Award for Corporate Philan‐

thropy because it recognizes our

employees for their incredible ser‐

vice to those in need.”

Since the majority of Centi‐

Mark’s philanthropy is anony‐

mous, charities will often forward

touching voicemail messages,

notes, and pictures drawn by chil‐

dren to the corporate office.

Nearly all the time, the authors

don’t know who they’re thanking

but they are incredibly grateful for

a gesture that made them and their

families feel valued. As the em‐

ployees of CentiMark know, some‐

times little acts of kindness can

hold the greatest meaning.

Few companies understand the

meaning of the word “service”

quite like AccuTrex Products.

From serving customers…to serv‐

ing our country…and the commu‐

nity, AccuTrex employees share a

passion for helping others that

truly sets them apart. In fact, this

local manufacturer has maintained

a steadfast giving and volunteer

history for over 30 years.

AccuTrex employees have

shared contributions of time, tal‐

ent, and treasures with many local

organizations including: Washing‐

ton County Special Olympics,

Washington Hospital Foundation,

Washington‐Greene County Blind

Association, the American Cancer

Society, United Way, Junior

Achievement, Immaculate Concep‐

tion Church, John F. Kennedy

Catholic School, Abundant Life

Baptist Church, Meadowlands

United Methodist Church, Boy

Scouts of America, the Washington

County Manufacturer’s Associa‐

tion, as well as the WCCF.

“It is very flattering to receive

this award in the year following its

inception,” said Martin P. Beichner,

Jr., President/CEO. “We are fortu‐

nate to employ a lot

of really nice, caring

people who enjoy

being involved in

service activities

and charitable pro‐

jects. Our company

feels it has an obli‐

gation to help take

care of needs in our

community in what‐

ever way we can.”

The American

Cancer Society’s Re‐

lay for Life has been

a favorite company‐

wide activity for the

past 18 years.

Many employees

Clockwise from top left: Ed Kelly, Darlene Horvath,

Sue Scott, Tom Wild, Natalie Wooldridge,

Judy Beichner, Martin Beichner,

Denise Dudik & Danielle (Beichner) Cornell

21


and their relatives have battled

cancer, so the company feels par‐

ticularly “close to the cause.” They

have raised over $121,000 to date.

Offering specialized job shop

capabilities, AccuTrex has also

carved out a niche for unique pro‐

jects. Metal work for the gymna‐

sium at John F. Kennedy Catholic

School and part refurbishment for

the Pennsylvania Trolley Museum

were donated in recent years,

while the United Way of Washing‐

ton County has experienced the

benefits of the company’s generos‐

ity since the 1980s. Skilled ma‐

chine operators have made it possi‐

ble for more than 100,000 Christ‐

mas tree gift tags to be created for

the United Way’s Caring Tree pro‐

gram – helping holiday wishes to

come true for thousands of needy

children, disadvantaged young

adults, and lonely seniors.

“Since its inception, all levels of

people at AccuTrex Products have

been loyal supporters and con‐

tributors to United Way of Wash‐

ington County. From the founders,

to the management team and the

shop and the office employees,

their support and community in‐

volvement go far beyond corporate

financial support or a workplace

campaign,” stated Jim Proudfit,

United Way Chairman.

And as a Vietnam veteran‐

owned company, AccuTrex also

supports organizations and activi‐

ties that address veterans’ needs.

Several employees, including a

Double Purple Heart veteran,

helped revitalize the Fort Pitt

Chapter of the Association of the

United States Army, and the com‐

pany’s efforts led to the creation of

“Military Appreciation Week” at

the Mylan Classic.

“The organizations we support

have always been happy with

whatever we have been able to do.

Whether times have been good or

not quite as good, I am proud to

say that we have always main‐

tained our charitable giving,”

Marty recalls.

The company’s motives are

purely altruistic – it has no busi‐

ness incentives nor does it receive

any financial gain if its good works

are publicized. AccuTrex Prod‐

ucts, and its employees, recognize

that the return on their efforts is

what is most valuable – making

our community a better place for

the people who live and work here.

2012 Philanthropists of the Year

If you’ve never

heard of Armand

Dellovade, it does‐

n’t bother him. “If

you never hear my

name, that’s OK

with me,” he says.

“You can do a lot of

things without any‐

one knowing who

did it.” And he has.

The University of

Pittsburgh knows his

name. In fact, one of the few places

you can see his name in public is

on the Pitt baseball scoreboard. It’s

not unusual to see him in the

stands when the team plays in

Florida. And if you’ve ever at‐

tended a Pitt football game, home

or away, you may have noticed the

60 or so friends and family he is

entertaining in the parking lot. But

you won’t see his name. He’s not

looking for publicity.

The Cleveland Clinic knows

who he is. He is grateful for their

response when he needed them,

and he likes to reward competence.

The people at the Italian Hall of

Fame in Chicago know his name.

When they wanted a building to

honor Italian athletes, Armand

Dellovade was there for them.

Locally, he was a major donor to

the capital cam‐

paign for the Frank

Sarris Public Li‐

brary and has sup‐

ported Try‐Again

Homes, Community

Action Southwest,

the Washington

Hospital Founda‐

tion, Pathways of

Southwestern Penn‐

sylvania, and nu‐

merous youth sports

teams, just to name a few.

But charitable giving isn’t the

most important thing in Armand

Dellovade’s life. That place is held

by his family. He comes from an

enviably large Italian clan, and

every holiday, his house is filled

with brothers, their wives, kids,

and lots of grandchildren. But his

family ties go deeper than holiday

get‐togethers. He’s not only their

brother, he’s their boss. All five

brothers work for him, with Ken in

the field, Dennis in sales, and Fred

managing a separate division. Bob

is retired, and Vice President Pete

Dellovade is his second in com‐

mand. “His [Armand’s] generosity

for charitable causes is substan‐

tial,” Pete says. “From the incep‐

tion of the business, generosity is

part of his life.” And Pete would

Armand & Marilyn Dellovade

23

know. When Armand founded the

company nearly 40 years ago, Pete

was his first employee.

Armand Dellovade started his

career as an ironworker for Plasteel

Products in the early 1960s. After

learning every aspect of the busi‐

ness, he decided

to establish his

own company.

A.C. Dellovade

was incorporated in May of 1973.

His boss at Plasteel offered him his

first six jobs. Dellovade hired his

first 12 workers and now employs

300 people, installing specialty sid‐

ing in places including the assem‐

bly buildings at Cape Canaveral

and the MX Missile Space Shuttle

Complex at Vandenberg Air Force

Base. His secret to success? He

knew his business, inside and out.

And his success came, in part, be‐

cause of his estimating skills. “I

was the best labor estimator in the

country,” he says, for once willing

to talk about himself. “I knew the

business. To be a success, you

must know your business.”

He got into charitable giving

because he wanted to complain.

“In the early ‘70s, I joined the

Golden Panthers. I had some com‐

plaints and thought they could

change a few

things. I was told,

‘If you want the

right to complain,

make a donation.’” He did, and

has continued giving money and

advice to his alma mater, the Uni‐

versity of Pittsburgh, ever since.

Pete has nothing but admiration

for his older brother. “He’s a very

private person, multi‐faceted,

tough but fair. He’s demanding

but lets everyone do what they do

best. He’s opinionated, but he’s a

great listener.”

Armand enjoys giving to causes

“that deserve it.” His advice is

simple and direct: “Everyone

should give to something.”

Dr. Howard Jack Outstanding Public Educator Award

If someone

had to de‐

scribe you,

what words

would you

hope they

would use?

Character?

Integrity?

Honesty?

Values?

Those are

the words that

come up, time

and time again when Jon L. Val‐

lina’s boss, coworkers, and stu‐

dents describe him.

While his students’ athletic

achievements are impressive, it

was the impact of those words that

led the WCCF to name him the

2012 Dr. Howard Jack Outstanding

Public Educator.

A lifelong resident of Burgetts‐

town, Jon has spent 37 years teach‐

ing physical education, coaching,

volunteering in the community,

and helping keep the PIAA on

track.

“He conveys a sense of honesty

and integrity and motivates those

around him through his tireless

work ethic,” says Andrew I. Miller,

a former student and current Bur‐

gettstown parent.

“I cannot think of anyone I have

worked with in my 34‐year career

who has done more as a teacher to

positively affect the lives of genera‐

tions of youth both in the class‐

room setting and outside the class‐

room and in the community,”

writes Burgettstown Superinten‐

dent Deborah Jackson. “He is the

consummate role model for young

people.”

Student Andrew Miller also rec‐

ognizes his teacher’s extraordinary

time commitment: “Mr. V is the

first one in the school and the last

one out, but most of the time I be‐

lieve that he is there longer than

the janitors.”

When Jon heard of his nomina‐

tion, he said, “It feels great to be

appreciated by the administration,

parents, and my students.”

A list of his leadership roles

with the Pennsylvania State Ath‐

letic Directors Association, the

Western Pennsylvania Interscho‐

lastic Athletic League (WPIAL),

and the Pennsylvania Interscholas‐

tic Athletic Association (PIAA)

would take up pages. His athletic

résumé is amazing: twice named

Pennsylvania Athletic Director of

the Year, his golf teams have won

WPIAL and state championships,

and he also received the PIAA’s

Jon L. Vallina

25

Dr. Howard Jack Outstanding Public Educator Award

Distinguished Service Award.

Now retired from the class‐

room, Jon just can’t stop serving,

continuing his duties as Burgetts‐

town’s Coordinator of Student Ac‐

tivities and Athletic Director.

He can’t remember a time when

he did not want to teach, and that

desire began at the same high

school where he

spent his entire

professional ca‐

reer. His was

the first class to

graduate from

the current Bur‐

gettstown High School, and after

four years of study at Slippery

Rock University, he returned home

to give back to his community.

He sees needs and tries to fill

them. Because video games and a

sedentary lifestyle were sapping

the health of his students, he re‐

quired them to work out twice a

week using a fitness program tai‐

lored to them. Students who

would not think of taking on

strenuous physical activity are

changing their lives. He also led a

team from BHS to the National Fit‐

ness Championships in California.

He doesn’t teach his students

facts; he teaches an attitude. His

philosophy of teaching is also his

philosophy of life. “Whatever I do,

I lead by example.”

Superintendent Jackson agrees.

“Jon’s philoso‐

phy is that stu‐

dents should be

prepared to con‐

tinue a life of

fitness and

healthy living.

Not only does he teach it, he lives

it.”

His commitment goes well be‐

yond the classroom. He was instru‐

mental in having the athletic train‐

ing facilities, including the swim‐

ming pool and the fitness center,

opened to the community.

“My goal has been to make Bur‐

gettstown a better place. I’ve ac‐

complished that.”

By Dorothy Tecklenburg

The Dr. Howard Jack Outstanding Public Educator Award was created to

recognize a local public educator who has displayed the ability to inspire children

from all backgrounds and abilities, who has earned the respect of colleagues,

students and parents, and who is actively engaged in the community.

“Whatever I do, I lead by example...My

goal has been to make Burgettstown a

better place. I’ve accomplished that.”

Mundy Fitch Fergus has a con‐

fession that may surprise the peo‐

ple of Washington County: grocery

shopping is her least favorite

chore. As she says it, she gives a

little laugh because she realizes just

how odd that must sound. From

volunteering for Meals on Wheels

to serving as the Coordinator of the

Community Circle Food Pantry,

her life’s work has revolved

around nourishing others body

and soul – and

that’s no secret.

It is that pas‐

sionate and

sincere com‐

mitment to the

community

that has earned

Mundy the

honor of the Louis E. Waller Hu‐

manitarian Award.

The daughter of local philan‐

thropists T. S. Fitch, founder of

Washington Steel, and Janet Reed

Fitch, she is proud to have carried

on the family tradition of helping

those less fortunate. “My father

made it very clear to us that we

had been blessed and we had an

obligation to give back,” she re‐

flects. As a young girl, Mundy

spent much time at the LeMoyne

Multi‐Cultural Community Center,

an organization committed to

bridging the gap between races

and neighborhoods by serving

low‐income minority children and

families. It was there that she first

“got a strong sense that there was a

lot of work to be done in the com‐

munity.” During college, her eyes

were opened to “the county’s ap‐

parent needs” while working in the

office of then District Attorney

Harold Fergus (later Judge Fergus).

After graduat‐

ing, she be‐

came involved

with Commu‐

nity Action as

a Program Spe‐

cialist charged

with expand‐

ing summer

Head Start into a year‐long pro‐

gram. Later, Mundy helped to es‐

tablish the first daycare center for

low‐income families at the former

Third Ward School. In the 1970s,

Mundy volunteered alongside her

mother for Easter Seals, driving

children to speech therapy classes.

It was also during this time that

she began helping senior citizens

through Meals on Wheels. “It was

really, really rewarding work that

went far beyond providing a hot

meal,” she stated. On one occa‐

Louis E. Waller Humanitarian Award

“I describe a humanitarian as someone

who is living for service for his fellow

man. I don’t always live up to that

definition, but I try. I just hope that in

some small way I have made a difference

in our community.”

sion, a client fell minutes before

Mundy arrived with her delivery.

The event left a lasting impression

on the importance of caring for the

elderly and the homebound, espe‐

cially those who are alone.

For the past 23 years, Mundy

has served as Coordinator for the

Community Circle Food Pantry,

working tirelessly to feed those in

need, many of whom are seniors.

She first became involved with the

pantry through her church, First

Presbyterian Church 1793, and dec‐

ades later, she continues to offer

the same enthusiasm for this “labor

of love” as she did on her first day.

One of her greatest objectives is to

make the pantry’s clients feel com‐

fortable, not embarrassed, when

taking a donation.

Additionally, Mundy has served

on the Boards of Easter Seals,

YWCA, Washington Area Humane

Society, the Brownson House Aux‐

iliary, and the Washington Hospi‐

tal Foundation, where she was ac‐

tively involved in the ladies’ golf

outing event. She has volunteered

for the United Way and Washing‐

ton School

District (as a

tutor). In

2009, she was

honored with

the NAACP’s

Human Rights

Award for her

efforts. She is

a former elder

and choir

member of her

church and

currently serves as Board Treasurer

of the Greater Washington County

Food Bank.

Mundy appreciates the recogni‐

tion she has received for her ser‐

vice, but she believes that having

these opportunities to help others

is a reward in itself. “It’s what I

do, and it’s what I think I should

do,” she stated. “I describe a hu‐

manitarian as someone who is liv‐

ing for service for his fellow man. I

don’t always live up to that defini‐

tion, but I try. I just hope that in

some small way I have made a dif‐

ference in our community.”

Our Donors – 2012

“We knew we wanted our gift to be used in

this area. What we’ve made of our lives, we

did locally. . .Friends of ours who had

connections to the Community Foundation

suggested we look into it. We had heard its

reputation was very good, and most

importantly, we learned that through the

WCCF we could create a fund to help all our

favorite causes in this community.”

A Day of Giving for

Washington County Charities

September 10, 2013

www.wccfgives.org

In celebration of the upcoming 100th anniversary of the com‐

munity foundation field nationally, and in honor of our current

Chairman of the Board William Campbell, who has spent much of

his adult life helping to build the capacity of charities in the com‐

munity, the Washington County Community Foundation has

adopted Building Foundations, Building Communities as our market‐

ing theme for the years 2013 and 2014. One of the goals of the

theme is to educate the community regarding the four primary

roles a community foundation assumes to strengthen its commu‐

nity — fundraiser, grant‐maker, community leader, and donor service

organization.

To illustrate our role as a community leader, the WCCF will be

hosting our inaugural Day of Giving — WCCF Gives — to support

charities in Washington County. During this one‐day event each

donation you make to your favorite Washington County charities

via www.wccfgives.org will be increased by a percentage of a

$100,000 match pool! Funding for the match pool is provided by

WCCF Gives sponsors, a grant from the Benedum Foundation, and

anonymous Foundation contributors.

WCCF Gives is Sponsored by
