On April 26, North Fayette and Kennedy Volunteer Fire Departments went to H
& K Equipment Company in North Fayette for the company’s annual ‘Take Your
Child to Work Day.’
Dennis Bowman from KDKA was on site to do a presentation on weather, and
the fire departments brought their fire trucks and equipment to put on a
demonstration for about 50 children of H & K employees who came for the day.
Afterwards, the company hosted a small picnic for the children.
The team effort of the local fire departments, H & K employees, and others
resulted in a successful day.

CLEARVIEW FCU/PITT SUPPORT PEDIATRICS
Clearview® Federal Credit Union recently donated $7,480 to
The Children’s Institute of Pittsburgh. Clearview once again
partnered with the Pitt Men’s Basketball Team to offer a special
“Points for Pediatrics” program. Through this program,
Clearview made a $40 donation for each three-point basket
made by a Pitt player during a Pitt Panthers men’s basketball
game. All proceeds benefited The Children’s Institute of
Pittsburgh.
During the 2011-2012 season, the Pitt players made a total of
187, three-point baskets. Clearview President/CEO Mark
Brennan recently presented a check totaling $7,480 to Stacey
Vaccaro, MPM, FACHE, Vice President of Quality and Clinical
Operations at The Children’s Institute of Pittsburgh. To cheer
on the cause, Pitt’s panther mascot, “Roc,” attended the
presentation.
