Erie’s 15th Annual Beach Ball Gala The Erie community had a bounty on a cure for their support at the recent March 24, 2012 Northwest Pennsylvania JDRF Beach Ball Gala. This year’s theme, “Pirates of the Cure-ibbean” was a huge success raising $137,000, an increase of $33,000 from last year’s event. Much of this success is attributed to the generosity of the donors, the 375 attendees, the 2012 Honorees Dennis and Tara Prischak from the Plastek Group, and to the dedication of our many volunteers and committee members. This year’s gala, held at the Ambassador Banquet & Conference Center included a cocktail reception, silent and live auctions, and a gourmet dinner – all with a beachy, Caribbean feel. In addition Mr. Michael Bova of Erie Insurance Group was presented with the Dr. PhilipTrapolsi Award that is given annually at the event to recognize the outstanding commitment of our supporters to both JDRF and the Erie community.

  • Pittsburgh, PA Previous GTCA City 2013
    Pittsburgh, PA Previous GTCA City 2013 Contact: Tom Piccone ([email protected]); Andy Wang ([email protected]) ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ The Church of God in Pittsburgh The Church of God in Pittsburgh was originally established as the Church in Pittsburgh in 1983, primarily through a migration of saints mainly from Ohio. Some years after a turmoil, the Church of God in Pittsburgh was incorporated in 2017. The church does not presently have a meeting hall, but meets on university campuses and in various saints’ homes. Approximately 40 currently gather on Lord’s Day mornings, including four children. The racial composition of the church is 59% Chinese and 16% Caucasian, with the remaining 25% a mix of Korean, Vietnamese, Black, and Indian. The current church life in Pittsburgh focuses primarily on campus work at the University of Pittsburgh (Pitt) and Carnegie Mellon University (CMU), though the need to gain more families is of equal priority (and not necessarily separate). Each year, the Lord adds remaining fruit to His Body through the saints’ labor on the campuses to gain college and graduate students, and sometimes university staff. In the past 12 years of campus work, dozens have been gained, but most have moved away. Only a handful of them have not been Asian. While the saints in Pittsburgh welcome all who would like to move here, we particularly see a need for young American families to migrate to the Pittsburgh area in order to share the burden of shepherding and gaining some from the population of American students and families for the strengthening of His testimony in this locality and region.

  • Trauma in Our Communities
    Crisis Intervention Association of Pennsylvania Annual Conference TRAUMA IN OUR COMMUNITIES: PICKING UP THE PIECES . November 13 & 14, 2019 Nemacolin Woodlands Resort Sponsored by: www.CRISISPA.org PROGRAM DESCRIPTION Communities are being wracked by traumatic events. It seems that we are seeing traumatic situations in the news occurring weekly. Mass causality incidents create trauma within our cities and neighborhoods affecting all populations. As a result of these traumas, crisis workers, first responders, law enforcement, and service-related providers are charged with returning those exposed to trauma back to a new normal, this often takes a great toll on those responding. Self-care is a critical practice before, during, and after a traumatic incident. This year's conference will host national experts on trauma, self-care, and other topics relevant to the national crisis that we are facing. Objectives Upon completion of the program, participants should be able to: Understand the importance of self-care during traumatic incidents; Recognize that the opioid epidemic is the leading public health crisis in the US; Discuss techniques and practices in trauma response; Discuss precursor behavior to potential mass violence incidents; Address special areas of interest including: Crisis response in schools after an in-school trauma, interventions for aggression and violent behavior, community safety and other best practices. Target Audience Crisis intervention staff, emergency services workers, mental health delegates, case managers, criminal justice professionals, CISM teams, law enforcement, teachers, and any other interested individuals. Keynote Presenters Tara Hughes, LCSW-R is the President of Invicta Crisis Solutions, a nationwide consulting group that works with communities, organizations and universities to ensure strategic readiness, organized response and resilient recovery for families and victims directly impacted by mass casualty incidents.
