*Retired A Trustee Remembered Like many members of the community, the WCCF Trustees and staff were saddened by the August 2015 passing of Dr. Thomas Hart, who served on our Board since 2009. A retired biology professor from Washington & Jefferson College, Dr. Hart had many fantastic experiences conducting scientific research all across the globe and was very interested in local history. His passion for sharing his time, talent, and treasures was evidenced by his steadfast commitment to several local charities, including ours. We are forever grateful for his service.

4 Chairman’s Message

No matter if you are sharing your time, your talent, or your treasures, the motivation to do so is often derived from a single source: love. The idea that philanthropy, in its many forms, is an act of giving that is “straight from the heart” was the inspira- tion behind the Community Foundation’s 10th time-limited marketing theme, the Heart of Giving, which launched at the beginning of 2015. This past year was a very special time for the WCCF as it marked our 20th year of promoting and facilitating local philan- thropy. What began as a tiny acorn of a charity with only $5,000 in assets has matured into a thriving oak with approximately $18,000,000 in assets -- all because of the in- credible love and support the Foundation has received from this community. Much progress has been made since those early days, but Foundation leadership recognizes that in order to have a lasting position as the heart, or center, of local chari- table giving, the WCCF must plan for the future. We look forward to soon publicizing and implementing our first Strategic Plan, an initiative that began several years ago under the leadership of Immediate Past Chairman William Campbell. Utilizing a comprehensive, multi-phase process, the Board sought input from diverse communi- ty representatives to ensure that local needs will be met in the best way possible. Another highlight from 2015 was the day we planted roots in our permanent home, the Samuel T. Brownlee House in Eighty Four, PA. The Brownlee House is a spectacular structure on the National Register of Historic Places that was generously donated by Bill and Sandy Stout in 2013. If you have not seen it yet, we hope you will visit soon or follow its rehabilitation on wccf.net. In addition to housing the Founda- tion’s offices, we look forward to having this stately building serve as a charity train- ing facility and a heritage museum that can be enjoyed by many. Additionally, this year we took great pride in the launch of our Heart of Giving Charity Storybook proj ect, a one-of-a-kind website that is a collection of impact stories about the wonderful charities that serve Washington County. We encourage you to visit storybook.wccf.net to read about the fantastic work that is being done locally. If you are one of the many donors who has opened your heart to the WCCF during the last 20 years, we sincerely thank you! Your support has fueled our growth, ena- bling us to serve individuals, businesses, and charities in the Washington County area as a fundraiser, grant-maker, donor service organization, and community leader. Through successful projects such as WCCF Gives, various gifting opportunities to our three pooled funds, (the Acorn Fund, Arts Fund, and Mother’s Fund) and multi- ple permanent and temporary fund options, we hope to illustrate that we are here to help anyone with a kind spirit and a generous heart to engage in charitable giving.

Warm regards, Deborah E. Takach, Chairman of the Board

23 Richard L. White Excellence Award for Board Service here are standards of excellence, and then there are the standards of T Alex Paris. One is remarkably higher than the other. To Alex, anything worth doing is worth doing right, and it is a philosophy that permeates his many activities – especially his service. A lifelong resident of Washington County, Alex graduated from Avella High School and earned a Bachelor of Science degree from West Liberty Uni- versity. Representing the third generation at the helm of the family business, Alex Paris Contracting, Alex has earned a reputation for his business acumen and commitment to quality. He has served as the Vice Chairman of the Nation- al Utility Contractors Association and is a Former President of the PA Utility Contractors Association. In both 2001 and 2009, he was named Contractor of the Year by the PA Utility Contractors Association. Those who know Alex will agree that he is generous in many ways- – espe cially with his time, his knowledge and expertise, and his charitable giving.

This fully integrated supply company that predominately serves the oil and gas industry has been a distributor of general and industrial safety supplies for more than 30 years. And during that time, owners Paul and Nanette Battista have been committed to a “hands-on approach to service and giving.” “Our community involvement is almost second nature,” Paul remarked. For instance, in celebration of the company’s 25th anniversary, Paul and Nanette decided to do something special – host a Carhartt fashion show fund- raiser for the local chapter of Autism Speaks. The charity was chosen as a way to show their support for a customer who had an Autistic child. Another of their favorite charitable activities was inspired by a different child – their own. When the couple’s daughter was a high school junior, she expressed an interest in attending Pennsylvania Free Enterprise Week, a sum- mer camp that teaches students from all across the Commonwealth real-world business skills (which encompass everything from research and development to marketing and inventory management). Upon her return, she insisted that her dad consider serving as a “company advisor.” Although the role required an intense 80-hour commitment during

27 Charles C. Keller Excellence Award for Corporate Philanthropy here is no denying that we are instilled with a desire to protect the T things that we love – our families and friends, our homes, and even our most precious possessions. And there is one local company that has demon- strated a special dedication to protecting our community and some of the things that it holds most dear. NSA Security Forces is a full-service private security firm with over 30 years in combined law enforcement experience. The company employs over 100 fully-trained security officers and offers a wide range of services for industrial/commercial sites, special events, traffic control, and schools. Founder and President Russell Crupe, who spent 20 years as a corrections officer and 30 years as a state constable, attests the creation of the business was all about being in the “right place at the right time,” and that feeling of good fortune is what has helped to inspire the company’s commitment to charitable giving and service. “I felt that God put me into business, so I needed to give back,” he attests. Since safety and security are the company’s main focus, it should come as no surprise that many of the organizations NSA likes to sup- “I felt that God put me into business, port are those that are responsi- so I needed to give back.” ble for safeguarding our re- ‐Russell Crupe gion’s history and heritage. The House and the Fes- tival, Washington County Antique & Bottle Club, the National Duncan Glass Society, West Virginia Museum of American Glass, Carnegie Museums, and the Heinz History Center are just a few that have benefitted from the company’s generosity. “NSA Security Forces stepped forward from the start to support the Whis- key Rebellion Festival, contributing greatly to its success,” remarked William (Tripp) Kline, III, Whiskey Rebellion Festival Co-Chairman. “Russ and his NSA Security employees also work tirelessly to ensure the safety of all our festival guests.” Additionally, the company has been committed to supporting youth activi- ties and sports like the Bass Club of Washington, PA’s Bass Buddy Tourna- ment, Trinity hockey, and PONY Baseball. But NSA’s commitment to the community is not limited to providing mone- tary or in-kind support. Leading by example, Russ is also passionate about sharing his time with his favorite charitable causes. He is the President and a 40-year member of the Washington County Antique Bottle & Glass Club, Board Director of the Nation-

28 NSANSA Security Security Services Forces al Duncan Glass Society, President of the Local Chapter (Chapter 1) of the Na- tional Duncan Glass Society, Founder and President of the Wheeling Area Glass Society, as well as Museum President of the West Virginia Museum of American Glass. And just one week after the Foundation’s Philanthropy Banquet, he was found at the Jefferson Avenue United Methodist Church, running its pre- Thanksgiving Day Dinner. Some might say that his personal commitment to service has helped to in- spire those with whom he works. Russ and his wife, Heidi, established the Sgt. Russell L. Crupe Jr. Fund at the WCCF in memory of their son to support the Avella Area Public Library and Citizens Library. Many NSA employees are actively involved with the an- nual softball tournament that benefits the fund – not because it’s a company activity (it isn’t) but because they want to have a hand in helping a good cause. A cash bash and walk for Multiple Sclerosis are also being planned by members of the NSA team. Sometimes, it is the little things that will make a big impact, and Russ is a firm believer that it is not about how much you can give, but rather the willing- ness to do something good for the benefit of others.

A Not because it is relevant to his lessons in American Literature, but because it is a catalyst for conversation with his students. This 38-year veteran educator, who has taught students of all abilities from grades 7 to 12, knows how important it is to connect with the kids, especially those who may not see the value of education. “I always try to be the most excited person in the room . . . If the kids think that you think what you are doing is really, really important, they will think it is really important,” he remarked. The Charleroi native graduated from California State Teachers College (now California University of Pennsylvania) in 1977. At the time, he was hoping to be a journalist, but since the college offered no journalism program, he opted for an English degree and “drifted” into education. His first day of student teaching cemented his fate. Tom was in a class by himself in Monessen High School, standing before a group of kids who weren’t much younger than he was. Terrified of how he was going to fill the period, he simply started talking. By the end of the day, he came home and told his par- ents: “This is what I want to do.” Tom taught in both Avella School District and Parkersburg, West Virginia,

*Deceased 64 The Samuel T. Brownlee Society ‐ Permanent Membership

Permanent membership in the Samuel T. Brownlee Society will be granted to those donors whose cumulative gifts for the Brownlee House total at least $25,000. As the Samuel T. Brownlee Society is built, a naming opportunity for each permanent level will be provided to the first donor who contributes, or pledges to contribute, at that level. Once named, that named recognition level will exist in perpetuity. The permanent membership will be prominently displayed at the Brownlee House, as well as through the Foundation’s marketing materials and website.

There are 12 permanent giving levels, which range from $25,000 to $500,000. William and Saundra Stout have contributed at the top level, and we have reserved that top naming level for them. Mr. & Mrs. Ralph B. Andy and Carol Berthold have each contributed $50,000, and Richard and Jean Phelan have contributed $25,000. Additionally, we were fortunate to receive donations of skilled labor totaling approximately $100,000.
