STATE COLLEGE — One on One is pleased to announce it raised $30,170 through its Give Back initiative in 2022, and over a half-million dollars since its inception in 2009.
In addition to special events and direct donations from One on One, Give Back provides One on One’s clients with the opportunity to pay for certain services by making a donation to one of its chosen charities, either the Youth Service Bureau or Centre Volunteers in Medicine.
“Having the support of One on One has meant so much to us here at YSB,” said Christine Bishop, Youth Service Bureau CEO. “It has allowed us to keep our services running during a time when local kids and families have reached out to us more than ever before. Beyond the financial support, we are grateful to know that so many people in our community value what we’re doing and want to give back. I would like to thank the Burke family for leading by example and creating opportunities for others to join them.”
“We are honored to be a beneficiary of One on One’s Give Back program,” said Cheryl White, executive director of Centre Volunteers in Medicine.
“This unique form of giving helps us provide much needed health care to low income, underserved individuals who live or work in Centre County. A half-million dollars raised is a remarkable milestone! We encourage all local businesses to follow One on One’s lead and help the charity of their choice.”
Since 2009, Give Back has raised $532,585. Services include One on One’s Lecture Series, the Trainer Bonus program and its Summer of Fun activities.
“I would like to thank all those who have participated in our Give Back initiative,” said Bruce Burke, founder of One on One.
“We started the program to leverage our charitable giving, to spend one dollar to raise two, but it has become so much more. We have enjoyed more inspiration from our staff, clients and community than we ever could have imagined.”
