The results of WCCF
Gives, Washington Countyʹs
annual community‐wide
day of giving, were noth‐
ing less than astounding!
From 8 a.m. to shortly
after 8 p.m. on September
10, more than $530,000 was
contributed by Gives day
donors, which when com‐
bined with the $100,000
bonus pool provided by
Gives day sponsors, results in
a grand total of more than
$630,000 for participating
charities.
T he pro‐rating system for
the bonus pool resulted in
a bonus of approximately
19% for each dollar that a
charity received. The
Washington City Mission,
the charity which had the
highest contribution total
at more than $50,000, re‐
ceived $9,911.56 from the
bonus pool. The Washing‐
ton City Mission and the
Peters Township Education

Like any successful
entrepreneur, Bill
Stout knows all
about investments.
But his most compel‐
ling investments are
the ones he and his
wife Sandy make to
the future of their
community.
“My parents
stressed education
and self‐
responsibility,” Bill
said. “You can’t expect a different out‐
come than what you’ve invested in your‐
self. Education is a gateway to a success‐
ful life.”
Sandy’s vocation is education, first as a
teacher, then an administrator and educa‐
tional consultant. Her parents were not
college graduates, but they believed edu‐
cation was indispen‐
sable for their chil‐
dren’s future.
“Being a teacher is
the ultimate in com‐
munity service,” Bill
says of his wife’s
long career. “You be‐
come the neighbor‐
hood teacher for all
the kids.”
Sandy’s road to suc‐
cess was not handed
to her. “It was en‐
couragement. I kept meeting people who
saw something in me I didn’t see in my‐
self,” she remembered. “When I was ac‐
cepted into a doctoral program and got a
scholarship, my father cried.”
Through their scholarship funds, the
Stouts are now inspiring other parents to

cry. They are motivated by the students they help,
like the first‐generation Cal U student who spoke at a
dinner, saying, “I don’t belong here. I was born in a
trailer to addicted parents.”
“That brought tears to my eyes,” Bill said. “She’s a
shining star who pulled herself up through the power
of education and encouragement. “
Sandy agrees. “It’s indescribable how we feel.”
It’s not only their work in education that prompted
the WCCF to name them the 2014 Philanthropists o f
the Year. They are the motive power behind the WCCF’s
innovative building project: creating a foundation
headquarters, charity training center and a Scotch‐
Irish museum at the historic Samuel T. Brownlee
House on State Route 519 in Eighty Four.
The Brownlee House, which is on the National Reg‐
ister of Historic Places, was the company headquar‐
ters when Bill ran Alas Railroad Construction. When
he sold the company and retired, he put the house on
the market.
“For everyone who came and looked, we found rea‐
sons why they should not buy it,” Bill admitted. “The
house was our baby; we wanted to protect it.“
When the Stouts considered donating the house to
the Community Foundation, everything fell into
place. “My ancestors were Scotch–Irish farmers, so I
am enthusiastic about the museum aspect. It’s better
to return the house to the community. We are serious
about preserving it and its history.”
They spoke of the house as their baby, but talking
about the animals they’ve helped brought sparkle to
their eyes and enthusiasm to their voices. In addition
to supporting local animal causes, they have given
their time and resources to rescue dogs, cats, a dozen
horses, and two donkeys on their Nottingham farm.
“It was wonderful to see something struggling come
back to life,” Bill said.
More than his accomplishments, his deepest pride is
expressed when he speaks of his wife of nearly 40
years. “Sandy is an overachiever,” he laughs. “When
she received an award as outstanding Cal U alumni,
the citation read, ‘You are a true role model for all the
students from California University.’ And that’s so
true.”
They have a similar outlook on life: serving the com‐
munity is a necessity, with responsibility and respect
for self and others at the center.
Sandy expanded on that: “If you are able to help
people, it is not necessary to give money; it’s im‐
portant to do whatever you can to help the people
who need it.”
“We’ll always be part of Washington County,” Bill
promised. “Our lives are about service. We love the
county and will always support the community as
much as we can.”

CONSOL Energy Receives Keller Corporate Philanthropy Award
What defines a “philanthropic
powerhouse”? One local corpora‐
tion knows the answer lies beyond
the ability to give generously.
Organizations and programs that
help to make Washington County a
vibrant place to live and work have
been energized by the dynamic
support of CONSOL Energy, a
Pittsburgh‐based producer of natu‐
ral gas and coal. The company is
one of the largest independent nat‐
ural gas exploration, development
and production companies, with
operations centered in the major
shale formations of the Appalachi‐
an basin.
“For 150 years, CONSOL Energy
has tried to not only produce valua‐
ble resources, but also to be a vital
part of the fabric of our communi‐
ties. We believe it is important not
only to power our communities,
but empower them as well,” stated
Kurt Salvatori, Vice President of
Human Resources.
It would be challenging to com‐
pile a comprehensive list of all the
good work that has been done. In
2014 alone, more than $5 million
has been awarded through CON‐
SOL’s charitable giving program,
which was designed to reflect the
interests and core values of the
company. Investments are made in
human services and educational
organizations that focus on sustain‐
able change and building strong,
healthy communities.
Thousands of dollars in donations
are awarded annually to emergency
responders and public safety organ‐
izations. This funding helps to pro‐
vide safety equipment, fire trucks,
canine units, as well as education
and training to help protect our
communities.
CONSOL Energy and the Pitts‐
burgh Penguins Foundation have
partnered
to provide
Kindle Fire
tablets to
local ele‐
mentary
schools, as
well as
backpacks
and school
supplies to
more than
400 first
graders in
Washington and Greene counties.
The company is also the largest cu‐
mulative corporate contributor to
the Washington County Communi‐
ty Foundation’s Educational Im‐
provement Tax Credit program,
which works to ensure local chil‐
dren have access to quality and in‐
novative educational experiences.
Hungry families have benefited
from CONSOL’s generosity too. By
underwriting the cost to process
venison at approved facilities, the
company has helped to feed clients
of the Greater Washington County
Food Bank and many other food
banks across the region through the
Hunters Sharing the Harvest pro‐
gram. This initiative annually pro‐
vides more than 750,000 meals
statewide.
And you don’t have to go far be‐
fore you will find a CONSOL‐
sponsored youth team at play.
The company’s commitment to
philanthropy consists of much
more than financial support. CON‐
SOL strives to engage employees in
all of its philanthropic activities –
from delivering backpacks and
school supplies to students at
Claysville Elementary to clearing
litter and planting trees along local
highways. In December, the compa‐
ny‐wide Operation Troop Appreci‐
ation collection (for men and wom‐
en who are serving overseas) will
again be in full swing.
CONSOL also recognizes that the
caring, community‐minded indi‐
viduals who work at the company
have their own charitable interests.
Employees are encouraged to pur‐
sue personal volunteer activities
and take advantage of opportuni‐
ties for flexible scheduling so they
can participate.
“Powering progress comes with
great responsibility. We would like
to be thought of as a leader in the
industry in all aspects: innovation,
production, conservation, environ‐
mental stewardship, corporate re‐
sponsibility, and of course, our
deep roots and commitment to the
communities where our employees
and their families live and work,”
Salvatori said. “We view all of the
communities in which we operate
as our partners, and we aim to treat
them as such.”
That perspective has enabled
CONSOL Energy to be an im‐
portant part of the Washington
County landscape for the last 150
years, solidifying its role as an ex‐
ceptional corporate citizen and
building a legacy that will last for
many years to come.

Observer Publishing Company Receives Keller Corporate Philanthropy Award
There are
generations of
Washington
County resi‐
dents who
have started
each day in
exactly the
same way –
reading the
latest news
from the Ob‐
server Publish‐
ing Company.
As a family‐
owned paper,
the Observer‐
Reporter is more
concerned
with telling
the stories its
readers need to know than its bottom line, capturing
our community’s history as it unfolds, sharing our
joys and sorrows.
“To be a successful community newspaper, you
need to be a part of the community,” President &
Publisher Thomas P. Northrop remarked. And being
a “part of the community” means being involved in
charitable giving and service.
Through the company‐wide United Way pledge
campaign, all Observer Publishing employees have
an opportunity to give. Participation is not a require‐
ment, but it is incentivized with paid time off.
Additionally, on company time and with company
support, employees have been trained to be more
effective leaders through Leadership Washington
County. Program graduates are able to offer valuable
assistance to the local non‐profit community by serv‐
ing as dynamic board members and volunteers.
For more than 30 years, staff members have helped
to provide needy families with Thanksgiving meals
through the 2000 Turkeys campaign, which was
founded by an OPC employee and continues to be
strong thanks to a partnership with WJPA Radio. A
news reporter and an accounting professional work
closely with the campaign chair to publicize the event
and do the bookkeeping. This year’s goal is to feed
more than 5,400 families.
Observer Publishing has helped to bring the real
world into the classroom through the Newspapers in
Education program, a community service that offers
local educators and students digital access to the elec‐
tronic edition and a corresponding curriculum.
The paper is also unique in that it does something
other media, like radio and television, simply cannot
– give liberally of its space. The Observer‐Reporter co‐
vers the non‐profit community in many ways: run‐
ning news articles on programs, fundraising efforts,
and awards, as well as donating advertisements.
In fact, compassionate, enthusiastic editors and re‐
porters were the driving force behind the awarding‐
winning “No Place to Call Home” series, which fo‐
cused on homelessness in Washington and Greene
Counties. Their outstanding work touched many
readers, helping to raise awareness about homeless‐
ness in our community and raise funds for local or‐
ganizations that serve this segment of the population.
“The paper has a history of having a strong editorial
voice. We saw the series as an opportunity to regain
that voice and to go beyond that . . . to create some
change in the community,” said Lucy Northrop Cor‐
win, Director of News.
Through funds at the Washington County Commu‐
nity Foundation and the Community Foundation of
Greene County, more than $23,000 in grants was dis‐
tributed to agencies that serve the homeless and those
at risk of becoming homeless.
The considerable success of “No Place to Call
Home” led to the “No Longer Me” series, which
shines a light on the challenges of Alzheimer’s disease
and dementia as well as their impact on families.
Contributions are being collected through funds at
both community foundations and will be divided be‐
tween the Alzheimer’s Association Greater Pittsburgh
Chapter and the Southwestern Pennsylvania Area
Agency on Aging to support local Alzheimer’s pa‐
tients and caregivers after the conclusion of the series.
Day in and day out, the employees of the Observer
Publishing Company work hard to accurately and
fairly record this history of our region – delivering the
news and reminding us how we are all connected to
this community we call “home.”
John Northrop & Lucy Northrop Corwin,
Director of News of Observer Publishing

There is something truly magical about toys, both
for the young and the young‐at‐heart. We cherish
them, we collect them, and we share their joy with
others.
Quality, authentic American‐made toys like kazoos,
yo‐yos, and marbles are available for today’s children
(and adults) thanks to Channel Craft, a manufacturer
and distributor in Charleroi that is committed to hand
‐crafting toys, games, and puzzles from natural mate‐
rials. No batteries required.
Like the boomerangs they produce in‐house, Chan‐
nel Craft’s philosophy of community service was built
around the notion that the good you do will come
back around. “If you give, and give, and give, and
give, you will get,” remarked Channel Craft President
& Founder Dean Helfer, Jr., who wants all of his em‐
ployees to take pride in the work that they do and the
products that they sell.
In fact, an important focus has been the hiring, train‐
ing, and promoting of individuals with challenges
that might have otherwise prevented them from em‐
ployment. During the company’s early days, product
assembly work was provided to the participants of
sheltered workshops throughout West Virginia and
Southwestern Pennsylvania. In 1993, Channel Craft
was named “Employer of the Year” by the Governor’s
Committee on Employment of People with Disabili‐
ties. Recently, the company was recognized by the
Commonwealth’s Department of Public Welfare for
providing individuals with the opportunity to move
towards self‐sufficiency through employment. A
working relationship with the Washington Greene
County Job Training Agency helps to ensure these
efforts will continue.
Traditional toys require a certain level of physicali‐
ty, hand‐to‐eye dexterity, and creativity. So, it should
come as no surprise that Channel Craft has supported
the activities of organizations that promote wellness
and life‐long play, such as the Mon Valley YMCA, the
Special Olympics, and Senior Olympics. Channel
Craft employees have also banded together to raise
funds and raise awareness through activities such as
California University’s heart walk.
But it was in 1992 that the company became in‐
volved with what is now its signature charitable ac‐
tivity.
“So much of
what we do is
about selling
toys. I thought it
would be great
for us to take a
step back and
give the toys
away,” Helfer
remarked.
And through
participation in
Toys for Tots,
Channel Craft
has given thou‐
sands of toys to
needy children in
the Mon Valley.
“The integrity
of the Toys for
Tots program
can only survive
because of people like Mr. Helfer and Channel Craft,”
wrote Herman J. Bigi, Adjutant of the Mon Valley
Leatherneck Association (part of the Marine Corps
Veterans), which coordinates the local program.
On the day that the toys are to be distributed, crafts‐
men and women volunteer their time to provide
hands‐on demonstrations of the toys they built to
children who have never seen a set of pick‐up sticks,
twirled a top, or even heard of tiddlywinks.
To a spectator, it is like a chaotic scene in Santa’s
workshop. Balls bounce atop the table, there is a ca‐
cophony of whistles and kazoos, and children from a
generation programmed to desire the latest “tech
toys” discover games that have stood the test of time.
Each child goes home with one of everything at the
Channel Craft table and new ways to play that can be
shared with family, friends, and perhaps even one
day, their own children. However, it is likely the
Channel Craft employees who spent the day giving
will tell you that they walk away from the experience
with the best gift of all.
Whether they are working, playing, or serving the
community, the team at Channel Craft knows just
how important it is to “Have fun!”
Dean Helfer, Jr., President & Founder
of Channel Craft

Foundation each had 140 do‐
nors, the highest donor total of
the participating charities.
ʺWe are absolutely over‐
whelmed by the communityʹs
response to WCCF Gives 2014
and extend our most heartfelt
appreciation to the donors and
to the sponsors. The increase in total contributions
over last year is more than 83% and the increase in the
number of donors is approximately 46%. By every
measure, WCCF Gives 2014 was a tremendous suc‐
cess!” said Betsie Trew, WCCF President & CEO.
After seeing their contribution totals on the website,
many WCCF Gives charities could not wait to share
their feedback:
ʺWe were certainly very intentional in spreading the
word about this very wonderful program. The truth is
that an organization like WCCF raises the visibility
for every nonprofit. We love participating because the
Mission benefits, but we love how so many other or‐
ganizations also benefit,” remarked Sally Mounts, Di‐
rector of Development for the Washington City Mis‐
sion (Observer‐Reporter, September 11, 2014).
Scott Becker, Executive Director of the PA Trolley
Museum wrote, ʺI just wanted to thank you for all
your efforts to make WCCF Gives another great suc‐
cess. The event has really helped us focus our fund‐
raising and bring in more support than we would not
have otherwise seen! Please keep up the good work!ʺ
Additionally, we were touched by comments from
our donors, sponsors, and Trustees, who were
pleased to see the incredible growth of the program:
ʺI just wanted to send a quick note to say congratu‐
lations on an amazing Day of Giving!! You all must be
so excited with the results. I can only imagine the
work that goes into this . . . Iʹm so happy for WCCF
and all the charities that will benefit,” stated Betty
Guerrieri, Vice President/Marketing & Public Rela‐
tions, Washington Financial Bank.
And WCCF Trustee Lynne Stout shared the follow‐
ing: ʺWhat an exciting day for our community, our
Foundation, and all charities participating in WCCFʹs
Day of Giving. I am extremely proud to be part of a
community that has very generously supported the
WCCF and all of our registered charities.ʺ
To everyone who made a gift and helped a charity
through WCCF Gives, we thank you!
