We help build healthier communities by encouraging businesses and residents to support, volunteer, and join one or more of over 40 nonprofit groups.

We help to promote the events of nonprofit and civic groups, exposing more people to their causes.

We seed new community projects. (Like the Volunteer Firefighters Trailers, the Cranberry Park’s Fitness Stations, the Kids Castle Playground, the Scouting Centennial Plaza, the 9/11 Memorial and the electronic Community Sign.)

Some people ask how much of their sponsorship and donations go to staff and other administrative expenses instead of going back to the community? Here are our staff and staff-related expenses:

•Executive Director: $0 (Volunteers)•Staff Salary: $0 (Volunteers)•Webmaster cost: $0 (Volunteer) •Rent: $0•Utilities $0•Phone/cell phone: $0•Car leases or mileage expenses: $0•Mailbox and other rental: $0

We are a true 100 percent volunteer organization with $0 going to pay staff and office expenses. In fact, in addition to the over 2,000 hours of volunteer time our board members provided, they also contributed more than $15,000 of their own money!

So when you sponsor or donate to CTCC, CTCC Community Days, or the Project of the Year, know that every dollar you donate goes back to our community to make it that much better.

•CTCC’s primary goal for Community Days and its Community Project of the Year is to encourage residents and businesses to support and become involved with one of the many nonprofit and civic groups that help make our community better. Many of our nonprofit/civic groups have increased their membership since this effort began.

•CTCC promotes the nonprofit and civic groups via Community Days, the Community Sign, the Holiday Tree Gallery, etc.

•CTCC seeds new services and projects that improve our community such as the Project of the Year. But we have also used tens of thousands of dollars to seed other worthy causes and projects.

•CTCC helps to build a sense of Community, which is one of the main drivers of successful communities. It creates the connection of individuals and businesses to their communities.

•CTCC started the Cranberry Legacy Endowment, a community foundation that allows donors to support many of our nonprofit groups indefinitely. We are closing in on almost $1 million in assets since the Endowment was started.

•CTCC believes in our Four Pillars: businesses, faith communities, nonprofit/civic groups, and local government/schools. This is the foundation for a healthy and successful community.

•CTCC has expanded Community Days from a one-day event which has been 95 percent funded and staffed by the Township, to a three-day festival of artists, carnival, and concerts that draws tens of thousands of people and over 600 volunteers. Last year we raised over $150,000 for more than 50 nonprofit and civic groups and helped get more members and volunteers for many of these groups. It is a true celebration of Cranberry’s nonprofit and civic organizations.

How CTCC Benefits Our Community


ANNUAL CTCC REPORT The report is sent to every Cranberry home and business in June prior to CTCC Community Days. It pro-vides them with an opportunity to find out about dozens of nonprofit groups and how to support or join them. We also recognize more than 800 residents nonprofit members who volunteered at least 50 hours to our nonprofit/civic groups during the prior year.

ANNUAL CTCC COMMUNITY DAYS

This celebration of Cranberry’s nonprofit and civic groups saw more than 50 organizations raise over $155,000 during our three-day event. More than 20,000 people attended and 650 others volunteered.

VOLUNTEER FIREFIGHTER INITIATIVE

This 2015 Project of the Year goals were accomplished by: 1) With the help of Butler Eagle recognizing all 31 Butler County Volunteer Fire Companies and emphasizing their needs for help in specific areas. 2) Acquiring two Fire Training (recruit-ment) Trailers. 3) Establishing an endowment to help support 12+ scholarship to students in exchange for getting their Firefighter 1 Certification.

THE ARTS Strengthening Cranberry’s fine arts community and establishing pub-lic venues for both the temporary display and permanent installation of artwork took some major steps forward in 2012 and led to several high-quality exhibits in the Municipal Center. Cranberry’s commitment to the arts includes musical concerts, Art in the Park, and Martinis with Monet, along with ‘yarn bombing’ of park trees and fences. All these activities contributed to building the Township’s engagement with the arts.

CARVED SENECA INDIANStanding on guard by the Kids Castle Playground is a 7 foot carved Seneca Indian, “The Peacemaker” with his peace pipe. This was a gift via 2014 Community Days. In October and as a further gift of 2015 Community Days, we will install a whole Indian village at the roundabout at Graham Park.

BRONZE EAGLE You may have noticed the bronze Eagle at the peninsula of Scout Lake, the fishing lake at the Centennial Scouting Plaza. A gift from 2013 CTCC Community Days.

THE CRANBERRY LEGACY ENDOWMENT

A new community foundation was launched by CTCC in 2010. Its mis-sion is to benefit local nonprofit/civic groups by establishing dedicated endowments to provide a perpetual source of income for specific com-munity organizations. We have al-ready established more than a dozen endowments with assets exceeding approaching $1,500,000. This new source of financial support will have a large impact on Cranberry and its nonprofit/civic groups going for-ward. To learn more, go to: www.cranberrylegacyendowment.org.

$155,000 during our three-day event. More than 20,000 people attended and 650 others volunteered.


What did CTCC do for our community in 2014?


2015 VOLUNTEER FIREFIGHTER INITIATIVE The initiative involved acquiring an

Emergency-Fire Training Trailer. It is available to volunteer fire companies throughout the area for fire-emergency training in their communities, schools, and businesses. This sophisticated mobile unit will help save lives through safety training. It will also serve as a recruitment center and encourage people to consider becoming volunteer firefighters. The Initiative will not only help our own community, but all the communities in Butler County. It is a real approach to stem the decline of volunteer firefight-ers and a proactive approach to increase the number of volunteers in future years.

2014 FITNESS STATIONS Fitness has become a preoccupation for

people of every age in Cranberry. To help residents keep in shape and remain healthy, CTCC’s Community Project in 2014 was the creation of fitness stations in several of its parks.

2013 KIDS CASTLE Kids Castle – the replacement playground for

Cranberry Community Park’s 22-year-old Playtime Palace was a true community project. The design was created by local citizens and students. Labor was provided by local residents and most of the materials were donated by local businesses. The play area themes were designed to reflect local history. Funding came mainly from local chari-ties, families and individuals who recognized the value that a first-rate playground brings to our community.

2012 CENTENNIAL SCOUTING PLAZA & FISHING LAKE The Boy Scouts of America marked its 100th

anniversary in 2010. The Girl Scouts of America observed their centennial in 2012. Both organizations have made important contributions to American life and to Cranberry Township. The Centennial Scouting Plaza is a unique commemoration of the 100th anniversary for both. It is combined with a new Fishing Lake that makes for an outstanding addition to our community.

2011 CRANBERRY COMMUNITY SIGN In 2010, CTCC formed a coalition of partners

including Rotary, the Lions, the Chamber of Commerce, and the Township government to make building an elec-tronic community information sign their signature project of the year. The state-of-the-art sign – situated in front of UPMC – is enables local nonprofits with events coming up to promote them on the sign where as many as 100,000 vehicles pass every day.

HISTORY

PROJECT OF THE YEAR:

2015

2012

2011


Community Days kicks off our newest project of the year. This year CTCC is proud to team up with Miracle League to rebuild the surface of League’s special needs ball field in Graham Park and create a new playground right next to it.

Miracle League ballpark, has already lived up to its name. Over the past few years, hundreds of children and adults, including many with major disabilities, have enjoyed playing organized baseball on its specially engineered field. Every aspect of the field’s design, as well as the rules of the game themselves, has been adapted to provide a great baseball experience for individuals with special needs.

The success of their work will continue and grow with CTCC’s 2015 Project of the Year – Miracle Park. That project includes two key elements, each financed by a fundraising campaign with a combined goal of $600,000. The first is to renew and replace the resilient surface of the current ballfield which, because of its cushioning texture, is more susceptible to deterioration from exposure to weather.

The second element involves the construction of a brand new, fully-accessible playground immediately adjacent to the baseball field. Designed by Pashek Associates – the same firm which designed Kids Castle – the playground will feature two baseball-themed play areas, one next to left field and another on its right field side. It will be outfitted with an assortment of playground furnishings to be determined by public input, including suggestions solicited from pupils in local schools. The two playground areas will be linked by a walkway lined with interpretive signs. This is a playground to be used by all kids of all abilities.

CTCC’s efforts to raise funds for the Miracle Park project will officially kick off during Community Days, an event

which itself is expected to generate approximately $100,000 toward the goal. The balance of the

campaign, which will get underway this fall, will be community-wide, patterned after

the highly successful 2013 campaign to raise money for Community Park’s

Kids Castle. Those interested in becoming Playground

Ambassadors to help raise awareness of the

project are welcome to reach out to the

Miracle League or CTCC.

What is the Cranberry Legacy Endowment? It is a community foundation that you can set up in your name to help support a nonprofit or civic organization of your choice or to help a specific cause such as a scholarship, parks, or Project of the Year. The Cranberry Legacy Endowment is a cooperation of CTCC and the Pittsburgh Foundation.

Why is it part of CTCC’s Annual Report? The Cranberry Legacy Endowment is the co-sponsor of the Annual Report, which is sent out every June a couple weeks before Community Days to over 14,000 homes and businesses. Each Annual Report will recognize those Legacy Funds every year with appreciation to those contributors for leaving their legacy with our community forever.

What is the benefit of making a Cranberry Legacy Endowment? It is your way to leave a permanent legacy for your family and neighbors to enjoy and to recognize the difference you made in our community. Only a portion of the appreciation is distributed to your designated bequest on a yearly basis. The principal is never touched and, in most years, it will increase in value.

How do I set up a Cranberry Legacy Endowment? See page 17.

A s a child, I was enchanted with the Butler County Bookmobile, waiting endlessly by the living room window of our Butler home for it to come to our

street. It instilled the passion for books and learning that was engrained in my family as I grew up. These same attributes exist today in the Berman household of Cranberry Township. — Mike Berman

In addition to reading and learning, our family is dedicated to community service. As the coordinator for the Cranberry IRS Volunteer Income Tax Assistance Program for many years, I became quite fond of the Cranberry Public Library and its wonderfully dedicated staff. I eventually served two terms on the Library Board (one as Treasurer) and served as the liaison to the Butler County Federated Library System. I am also a dedicated life member of the Friends of the Cranberry Library.

Ashley, since the age of eight, has also supported the Library and founded the Young Friends of the Cranberry Library which has since disbanded. She is currently the Secretary of the Library Teen Advisory Board and holds many offices in the SVHS Science & Chorus organizations.

I have been a director with the Pittsburgh Chapter of Better Investing for over 15 years and also served several years on the National Better Investing Volunteer Advisory Board. I also volunteer with the Butler County Humane Society (also served several years on their board) and act as a trustee for several Masonic Organizations.

Of all our affiliations, we found the Cranberry Public Library as most deserving of our endowment. We

hope that the library remains in operation for eternity and provides future generations with the same selfless devotion as they have afforded to us.

Two New Cranberry Legacy Endowment Funds


Bruce and Conni Mazzoni Heritage Fund (2008) Bruce and Conni Mazzoni have lived in Cranberry for over 20 years, raising their daughters Allyson and Ashley. “The Cranberry Library was our first love. We visited weekly with our two daughters to encourage them to read and discover for themselves,” Bruce said. “We have a beautiful library and we are happy to know our endowment fund will help keep it that way,” Conni added. Bruce is a past member of the Library board. Conni and Bruce are currently members of Friends of the Library.

Michelle S. Switala Library Fund (2009) Michelle Switala, a voracious reader, gourmet cook, chair of the Pine-Richland mathematics department, doctoral candidate, part-time Pitt faculty member and gifted amateur musician was named Pennsylvania’s 2009 Teacher of the Year. Her 2009 endowment is dedicated to funding the Cranberry Public Library. “I love the concept of a public library,” she said. “I set up my endowment to the Cranberry Public Library as a way to keep our library current, beautiful and exciting.” Michelle is also a former member and past President of the Library’s Board.

The Samuel and Carol Troese Library Fund (2010) Samuel and Carol Troese moved to Cranberry when it had just over 4,000 residents; both emerged as pillars of their adopted community. Sam, a health planning professional, wanted to see development come in an orderly fashion, so he joined the Township’s planning commission. He also became a Butler County representative to the Southwestern Pennsylvania Regional Planning Commission and a member of the Township’s zoning hearing board charged with overseeing the design and construction of the Township’s new Municipal Center. Carol, who earned a library science degree at Pitt, became a volunteer for Cranberry’s startup library and, in 1984, became the facility’s librarian. Sam died of cancer at age 61. Four years later, Carol also succumbed to cancer. To honor the couple who did so much for Cranberry Township, their family created an endowment fund in their memory.

Annabel Turner Library Pillar Fund (2010) A resident of Cranberry Township and Sherwood Oaks for 22 years, Ms. Turner, who passed away in 2004 at age 97, is remembered for a major donation she made to the Children’s Library expansion in 2000. A graduate of Carnegie Institute of Technology, now CMU, Ms. Turner was an avid reader of classics and history. In her will she remembered the Library which, combined with her prior gifts, made Ms. Turner the single largest donor in the library’s history. Through this fund her generosity will be perpetuated and continue to support the Cranberry Library. Not pictured.

Edna T. Walter Library Fund (2010) Edna “Tommie” Walter is a resident of Sherwood Oaks and an avid bridge player with a life-long love for libraries. She understands that libraries form an important community asset and supported that belief with a donation of stock that will help to foster great programs and improve the Cranberry Public Library’s resources. Not pictured.

The Bill and Jean Heidenreich Library Fund (2010) Long-time Cranberry residents Bill and Jean Heidenreich both played roles in forming the Cranberry Public Library. Bill served on the library’s Board of Trustees during its early years. Jean worked at the library as a clerk for 18 years, until her retirement in 1997. Upon Bill’s death in 1982, the family established the Heidenreich Memorial Fund at Cranberry Public Library. It was used to expand the library’s collection. Jean later remarried, and when both she and her husband passed away in 2009, the family once again thought of the library and the fund they had created in memory of their parents.

Barbara Blackstone Library Fund (2011) Back when she was President of the Rowan School PTA, Barbara Blackstone and a group of mothers decided to start a school library as well as a public one, housed in the original Township Building. They were granted a small space for readers, but the books were stored in a closet in the one-story building. When the Township added a second floor, the “library” moved upstairs. In 1991, Cranberry’s new Township building gave the library space. And Barbara, who was a volunteer instructor for Slippery Rock’s Institute of Learning in Retirement, served a second term on Cranberry’s Library Board.

Margery Himes Library Heritage Fund (2013) A Legacy Endowment has been established in the name of Margery Himes for continued support of the Cranberry Public Library. Pictured next page.

Tom and Lee Coyle Legacy Endowment Fund (2012) Tom Coyle spent a lifetime in the Scouts. During the late 1930s, he became an Eagle Scout. Following his return from military service as a Marine in World War II, he made a career of Scouting, ultimately becoming Executive Director of the Moraine Trails Council of the Boy Scouts in Butler County from 1962 to 1984. Tom and Leah made their home in Butler, raising their three children there. They were married for 52 years. Leah spent 30 years as an instrumental music teacher in the Butler Area School District and was an active member of the Artist Association of Butler County until her death in 2001. Tom passed away in 2004. Funding for the monument – which honors the centennial of Scouting in the United States – came from his children Tim Coyle, Colleen Coyle Oszustowicz, and Conni Coyle Mazzoni.

PNC Project of the Year Fund (2012) This endowment was established to help support current and future CTCC Projects of the Year, beginning with our first project, the electronic Community Sign at the intersection of Routes 19 and 228. The idea of community Projects of the Year is to create public engagement and build a stronger sense of community – both of which are fundamental to the long-term success of Cranberry Township.

Margery Himes Project of the Year Heritage Fund (2013) A committed member of the Cranberry community and a resident of Sherwood Oaks, Margery Himes believed in the mission of CTCC and of Cranberry’s Public Library. Her estate left a continuing legacy in her name. Born in 1924, Margery graduated from Chatham College, and received her Master’s Degree in Education from the University of Pittsburgh. She taught elementary school in rural Central Pennsylvania for 27 years. Among her friends, Margery was known for her love of birds, wildlife and the great outdoors. Honoring her generous support of CTCC, the board elected to create a Legacy Endowment to support future Community Projects of the Year. A paver in her memory will be placed for each new project. Her legacy will also be listed in future CTCC Annual Reports and remembered in all future Community Projects of the Year, starting with the Kids Castle playground.

Project of the Year Funds

Bruce & Connie Mazzoni Project of the year Heritage Fund (2008)Bruce is past President of CTCC and one of the three leaders who helped establish its new direction. “CTCC will have a positive impact on our community by helping to increase membership among our nonprofit and civic organizations,” he said. “It has been a real privilege to be on the ground floor of CTCC and, with many of my fellow board members, to help launch a program that will help strengthen our sense of community.” Bruce has been a Cranberry Township Supervisor since January, 2005.

UPMC CTCC Fund (2012-2015) UPMC is the main sponsor of Community Days 2015. An endowment of $2,500 was donated to the Community Days CTCC Fund in its honor.

J. Frank Hess Parks & Recreation Heritage Fund (2010) Frank Hess – inspirational business leader, aviator, golfer and extraordinary civic volunteer – was a founding member of the Sherwood Oaks retirement community and a great friend of Cranberry Township. He passed away in 2007 at age 93, but his memory continues to motivate those whose lives and careers he touched. His professional life included executive and corporate board positions during Pittsburgh’s Steel City era. Outside of work, he held leadership posts in the Ingomar United Methodist Church and the United Methodist Foundation. Hess was a longtime member of the North Hills Rotary, an early promoter of Franklin Park Borough’s sewage authority, and board chairman of Passavant Hospital. Honoring his memory, Frank’s wife Betty and the Hess family created a permanent endowment which carries his name.

Step 1: Making the Decision to Leave a LegacyThe Cranberry Legacy Endowment creates an attractive opportunity to make a lasting difference in our community. Creating a Legacy provides the assurance that your name and contributions will continue to benefit your community, your children, and their children – in perpetuity. The Cranberry Legacy Endowment enables anyone to create a fund supporting their choice of more than 40 different causes. There are many ways to give. Some strategies can be excellent estate planning techniques, depending on your circumstance. As with all investment and donations, we highly recommended that you consult with your accountant and attorney to decide the best way for you to give.

Step 2: Naming the FundThe Cranberry Legacy Endowment can be set up in your name or the name of a loved one. You will then select a nonprofit or specific cause that you have an interest in supporting. For example, “John and Jane Smith Library Fund.”

Step 3: Selecting the Recipients of Your Cranberry Legacy EndowmentThe primary reason for starting the Cranberry Legacy Endowment (CLE) was to create lifetime funds for the support of local nonprofit and civic organizations. Those nonprofit groups can count on yearly income from those contributions, but can never touch the principal.

Why give to the Cranberry Legacy Endowments rather than directly to the Nonprofit group? Every cent of income generated by CLE’s fund investments goes to the nonprofit or civic group of your choice. Placing your endowment with CLE provides a level of protection to assure the principal is never used to fulfill a one-time need. Your your endowment with CLE will encourage others to follow suit. Utilizing CLE will give you full tax deductions and opportunities per IRS rules and regulations. Finally, we can offer professional administration and investment expertise that might not be available for an individual investment directly with the nonprofit group.

What nonprofit and Civic groups can I give to? We recognize all Cranberry Township Community Chest (CTCC) organizations including the Library, Rotary, Lions, Miracle League, The Chamber and dozens more. To see the complete list, go to www.ctcchest.org. If a group that you’re considering isn’t on the list, contact us to discuss whether it qualifies as a CLE recipient.

Step 4: There are Many Ways to Give•Direct Donations•How $6,500 or even $3,200 can start a $10,000 Legacy Endowment•Life insurance gifts•Real estate/Personal Properties

Cranberry Township is a great place to live, work and play. But maintaining and advancing its high quality of life during a time of rapid growth requires a strong social infrastructure as well as a healthy physical environment. The Cranberry

Legacy Endowment was created as a vehicle to reinforce that infrastructure by helping to support the Township’s nonprofit organizations, strengthen its voluntary sector, and promote civic engagement by local businesses and residents. Creating a lasting legacy through the Cranberry Legacy Endowment is both easy and affordable. And it will help to assure the vitality of our community forever. Find out more about how you can leave your own permanent legacy.

Life Insurance GiftMany people are surprised at the idea of funding a Legacy Endow-ment with life insurance, but it can make a lot of sense. You can do-

nate an existing insurance policy or take out a new one that will be owned by the Cranberry Legacy Endowment to benefit the specific nonprofit/civic group of your choice. It is an excellent way to leverage a $20,000 donation to generate $100,000 for an individual, or $30,000 donation to generate $250,000 as a couple. These are major donations that will have a tremendous impact on the nonprofit, scholarship or community asset for our community. This is a Planned Investment that can have immediate tax benefits for you while creating a lasting Legacy that you can benefit future generations.

The advantages of life insurance as a gift to fund a Major Legacy Endow-ment include:• All insurance premiums are tax deductible in the year they are made.• Insurance premiums made over $10,000 will be immediately recog-

nized as a Legacy Endowment in the Annual Report.• Premiums can be made in convenient annual payments or in a one-

time payment.• Company matches may be used to help pay the premiums.

Direct DonationsThe minimum gift to establish a Legacy Endowment is $10,000. The most popular method is direct donation. Many contribute to their

endowments on a regular basis to increase their size and effectiveness. In addition to supporting specific nonprofit and civic organizations, there are a number of field-of-interest funds available to support.

How $6,500 or even $3,250 can launch a $10,000 Legacy EndowmentThe Cranberry Legacy Endowment will allow you to qualify for a tax deduc-tion according to IRS rules and regulations. If you are currently in the 35% tax bracket and claim deductions, your $10,000 legacy endowment will effectively cost you just $6,500. And if your company matches charitable gifts, your net contribution would be half that – $3,250.

Levels of EndowmentsThere are currently four levels of Legacy Endowments. We recognize each level by name in our Annual Report:

•Legacy $10,000•Heritage $25,000

•Pillar $50,000•Legend $100,000

Real Estate/Personal PropertyFrom farmland to timberland to vacation residences to rental prop-erties, a gift of real estate can unlock the full value of your property and offer special economic advantages. You can make a substantial

gift through a transfer of residential, commercial, or undeveloped real estate. If you own property not subject to a mortgage which has appreci-ated in value, a charitable gift to Cranberry Legacy Endowments and the nonprofit of your choice may be an attractive proposition.

Charitable Gift AnnuityAn easy and popular way to make a planned gift to Cranberry Legacy Endowment (CLE) is through a charitable gift annuity which provides you with life-time income. When you make a gift of

$25,000 or more to (CLE) to establish a charitable gift annuity, CLE prom-ises to pay you (or up to two people) an income at a fixed annual rate. This rate, based on your age(s), is established at the time of your gift and never changes. Your income from this gift is guaranteed for life. Upon your death, CLE receives the remainder of the annuity and applies the funds to the program you specified at the time of your gift.

Charitable Remainder Trust (Annuity or Unitrust)For gifts of $100,000 and greater, you can create a charitable re-

mainder trust during your lifetime or through your estate. When you trans-fer assets and name Cranberry Legacy Endowments (CLE) as the trustee, we invest the assets for the length of the trust term. This gift option provides you or your loved ones with annual income for the rest of your or your loved ones’ lifetimes; or a term of up to twenty years. When the trust term is over, the remaining assets are distributed to the nonprofit/civic group you designated in the initial agreement.

Bequest in Will or Living TrustAfter providing for family and friends, you may choose to make a bequest in your will or living trust, designating a charitable gift to Cranberry Legacy Endowments after your death to benefit a spe-

cific nonprofit/civic organization. A bequest allows you to make a gift to CLE, receive an estate tax deduction for the amount of the gift, and leave a lasting legacy to the aspect of our community which is most important to you.

If you are interested in remembering CLE and a specific nonprofit/civic organization in your will or living trust, please contact CLE about your intentions. A representative will provide you with bequest language that may assist you and your attorney when writing your will or living trust. We will also help you craft a Statement of Intent for your gift, specifying how the gift should be used when received by CLE.
