In 2009, Stella Pipitone lost her courageous battle with breast cancer. But, her legacy still lives on to this day thanks to a relationship she formed with another breast cancer patient, Dr. Sharon Cowden. At the time, Sharon was working with Janette Poppenberg an ACSM/ACS certified Cancer Exercise Trainer on developing an exercise DVD for breast cancer survivors. They had received funding and were in development of the DVD, but needed help promoting it and raising more awareness about it.
A small but mighty team of Pipitone Group employees participated in the 5K Highmark Walk for a Healthy Community on Saturday, May 16, to raise funds on behalf of our client, Presbyterian SeniorCare. The group raised $795 for resident recreation programming at Presbyterian SeniorCare’s campuses in Oakmont and Washington, Pa., and their SeniorCare Network communities. The recreation funds allow residents to participate in fun outings and provide underwriting for the cost art supplies, games, music, computer software and other activities.
This past Saturday, October 11th, instead of sleeping in, we were up and ready to walk. For the fourth year in a row, Pipitone Group participated in the Pittsburgh Walk to End Alzheimer’s. The three-mile walk started at Heinz Field and toured much of the North Shore.
This year, we had 28 actual and virtual walkers and raised $1,590 for the Alzheimer’s Association’s Greater Pennsylvania Chapter. This success was only possible thanks to Pipitone Group employees, friends, family and clients. The Pittsburgh walk had 2,895 walkers total and raised more than $351,000.
On September 16th, we shoveled and raked and painted, working to make our community a little bit brighter during our fifth annual volunteer day. However, our work was not yet complete.
We’re all a little sore around the office today. But, while our muscles may be tired, there are smiles on our faces because of the great work we completed yesterday in our community.
Pipitone Group is pleased to announce that it will once again participate in the Walk to End Alzheimer’s. This year’s event is being held Saturday, October 11 at Heinz Field in Pittsburgh. The three-mile walk starts at Heinz Field and tours much of the North Shore.
