A word about fundraising

Did you know that Allegheny County supports more non-profit organizations then any other area of the United States?  I believe the vast majority are worthy causes, and each must rely to some degree on public support for sustainability.  The Dr. Richard R. O’Toole Pediatric Fund is no different.  But we hope to add a unique twist to increasing public support in 2010 and beyond.

Our goals include building new services that most consumers already need.  Then, we want to present our services to you with this simple request.  If you are going to purchase this service/product/good anyway, why not consider us as your merchant?

In future posts, and as we build this site, we will define our services for you.  We will build on the “locavore” movement….the purchase and consumption of locally grown and produced products.  Quality and fair pricing will be our overriding emphasis. 

All of our farm stands will reopen in 2010.  I look forward to telling you more about them in the near future.
