 We are pleased to honor our event founder, Colonel Gerald Russell. CR

In the early 90’s Colonel Gerald Russell was serving on the Centre County United Way Board of Directors and was passionate to create new ways to assist area agencies beyond supporting them financially – hence, the Day of Caring was born. The event grew quickly as Colonel Russell had a wonderful way to inspire those around him. Russell actively served as a leader of the event and in late years was always there to lend a smile and encouragement. Colonel Russell passed away in 2014 at the age of 97.

 

No donated dollars to the United Way Campaign are used to underwrite any Day of Caring costs.

In addition to PNC, we’d also like to thank the following businesses that contribute generously to our service efforts.
