Western Penn. Day of Giving surpasses $4 million
Despite an ailing economy, the third annual Day of Giving in Allegheny and Westmoreland counties set a fundraising record. Hours before Tuesday's midnight deadline to make a contribution, more than $4.05 million was donated.
Last year, the 24-hour total for Allegheny County was $2.8 million, plus a $500,000 match from foundations. In Westmoreland County, a total of $300,000 was raised.
Earlier in the day, Grant Oliphant, the president and CEO of The Pittsburgh Foundation, which sponsors the Day of Giving, was confident that donors would be generous.
