Meet some of the members of United Way’s Bridges Society.

This network of young to mid-career professionals are building a stronger and more vibrant community, right here where we live.

Angela DeFrank

“I really feel a sense of community from the individuals working at United Way to the diverse volunteers I have met from other companies.”

Kurt Gingrich

I believe in the work United Way of Southwestern Pennsylvania does, and volunteering at the events provides me with the opportunity to support that impactful work.

Joe Laughlin

“These local heroes and heroines have inspired me to double down on my own efforts. But even so my efforts are modest in comparison, these agencies are so important to our community”

Chase Loper

A passion for higher education also paved the way for ongoing community involvement through student engagement.

Wendell T. Robinson

“Giving back to the place you call home unites the community and tends to have a domino effect. Others tend to follow and contribute.”

BRITTANI SMOUSE

Building community creates a sense of pride and positivity that can be spread onto others. The more that’s spread, the better we can build and support one another.

Nathan Sylvester

“Giving back to the place you call home unites the community and tends to have a domino effect. Others tend to follow and contribute.”
