Keystone Hope Special Needs Foundation Kickoff Celebration
On September 11th, Keystone Hope Special Needs Foundation held its first fundraiser, the Keystone Kickoff prior to the Toby Keith show at the Post Gazette Pavilion. Guests snacked on catered food and bought raffle tickets for chances to win the 50/50 drawing or pairs of VIP Box seats. The event netted $2,900 for Keystone Hope, enough to provide special needs trust planning for one family. Guests included Board members Joe Gerzina, and Dale Risker, volunteers Lisa Austin, Taylor Austin, Dan Whoolery, Scott Ford, Nick Botta Esq. and Judy Schmidt, as well as staffers Mary Domonkos, Raegan Whoolery, Maria Cecchini, and Ryan McKenna. Special thanks to Jennifer Stokes of Live Nation, Patty Walker of PW Catering, the staff of Colonial Distributing, and Jaymie Oravetz of Hooda Rain Flower Shop.
