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‐

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

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.”

“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
