For Starters Support Hurricane Relief As fraternalists, we are compelled to aid those in need. This past summer's hurricanes caused billions of dollars in damages across the Gulf Coast and the Atlantic Ocean. We thank those who have already contributed to our call for hurricane relief, but there is still a great need for more resources as people try to rebuild their lives. Please consider helping the hurricane relief efforts by donating to “William Penn Association Foundation,’’ a 501 (c)(3) organization. William Penn Association will match all donations received, up to a cumulative amount of $5,000. Make your check payable to “William Penn Association Foundation” and write "Hurricane Relief in the memo section. Funds raised will be donated to Brother’s Brother Foundation, a Pittsburgh-based international charity. Since 1958, Brother’s Brother has provided over $4 billion of medical supplies, pharmaceuticals, textbooks, food, seeds, and other humanitarian supplies to people in 149 countries around the world. In 2016, with the help of gifts from the general public and corporations, Brother’s Brother sent product contributions to those in need in 59 countries and furnished supplies for 350 medical and humanitarian handcarry mission trips. Brother’s Brother is routinely ranked as one of the largest and most efficient charities in the United States. Currently, Brother’s Brother is supporting the delivery of over 30 trailer loads of donated water, food and medical items for those in need in Florida and Texas. This includes at least I I trailer loads from larger food banks in Pennsylvania, Ohio and Virginia. Brother’s Brother is also assisting with relief efforts in Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands. Send your donation to: WPA Foundation, Hurricane Relief, 709 Brighton Road, Pittsburgh, PA 15233 lo t, Ronald McDonald House grateful for donations THANK YOU very much for your $200 donation to the Ronald McDonald House Charities of Pittsburgh (RMHC). Gifts like yours enable us to continue our mission of keeping families with sick children close to each other and the care and resources they need. Your generous support ultimately impacts each guest. We provide each family with a small private apartment, and our top floor offers warm communal spaces, including a large well-equipped kitchen, a living room, library, computer area, play area and a dining/ activity room frequently used for parties, games and arts and crafts in addition to meals. We hope our hospitality allows each family to forget their everyday worries and concentrate on the health and healing of their child. We always strive to do more for the families we serve, and to offer them some moments of fun and joy during their stay. Your support of our charity makes you a part of all our endeavors. Thank you again for thinking of RMHC and our families. Your donation is truly appreciated by us, and by the children, parents and guardians who benefit from our services. Eleanor B. Reigel Executive Director, RHMC ON BEHALF of the families of the Ronald McDonald House Charities of Pittsburgh (RMHC), I would like to thank William Penn Association for your most generous donation of eight complete turkey dinners. Our families always appreciate such thoughtfulness. We continue to be grateful for the generosity of our friends who help us to provide a warm and caring environment for our guests. Few medical crises are more devastating or frightening than a child with a life-threatening disease, unexpected injury or illness. When a family has to travel to another city or state to receive medical care for their child, the added stress and financial burden can be overwhelming. RMHC opened in 1979 in Pittsburgh to help ease many of these burdens, keeping families close when they need it most. It is only with support from the community that we are able to continue to provide a warm and caring environment for all families regardless of their ability to pay. Again, from everyone at RMHC, I would like to thank you for your continued support of our families and mission. Morgan Barnes Volunteer Coordinator, RMHC WPA support fosters ties between Hungary and citizens of Cleveland ON BEHALF of the Cleveland Hungarian Development Panel (CHDP), the committee for "PAPRIKA! Honoring the Cleveland Playhouse" held on March 4,2017, thanks you for your participation. Our records show a total contribution of $3,500 for this event. Your generosity not only contributes to the success of our event, but also helps the CHDP accomplish its mission. For the past 27 years, the Panel has provided assistance to Hungarian institutions and individuals as well as numerous projects in Northeast Ohio. With your help, we will continue fostering closer ties between a democratic Hungary and the citizens of Cleveland, Ohio. Thomas G. Smith, Treasurer, CHDP 2 0 January 2018° WILLIAM PENN LIFE
