The Friends have fundraised and awarded project funding to organizations to help preserve and enhance educational programming, natural history research and visitor services at TREC. Through the generous support of donors, over $2 million dollars has been raised for the endowment to support this mission. We are currently seeking to raise the last $1 million dollars of the overall fundraising goal. We need your help!
You can become a Friend of TREC in number of ways by making a donation towards a specific project or the general endowment, depending on which aspect of TREC that interests you most.
Naming opportunities are available to publicly recognize the generosity of major donors. Your gift will have positive tax advantages for you - and a significant impact on the future success of The Tom Ridge Environmental Center.
Commitments over $500 may be fulfilled over a multiple year period. The Friends is a 501(c)3 charitable organization.
Contact Mike Gildea, Executive Director, at 814-835-1384 or
