The 2016 Fayette Philanthropy Project is now underway with five individuals competing to raise the most money for one of CFFC’s current funds or to create a new fund. The winner of this year’s competition will be announced at the Fayette Philanthropy Dinner on Thursday, October 6 at the Historic Summit Inn, Farmington, PA.
The Claude Worthington Benedum Foundation will be honored as the 2016 Philanthropist of the Year. The Benedum Foundation was founded in 1944, and has awarded over $410 million in Southwestern Pennsylvania and West Virginia. The Benedum Foundation was one of the first donors to the CFFC and continues to partner with us on a variety of programs.
Please consider a Sponsorship or Tickets for the Dinner. Your support of our Fayette Philanthropy Project, at any level, will be much appreciated!
Last year, 200 people attended the event! Uniontown resident Jim John, who raised $12,000 for a charitable fund he created in memory of his late brother, was named winner of the Community Foundation of Fayette County’s first Fayette Philanthropy Project.
