Day of Caring honors
Karen Rugh's devotion

The eighth annual PNC Bank-United Way Day of Caring, scheduled for Oct. 4, will be dedicated to the memory of Karen Rugh, former director of University Relations, who died Sept. 7.

Rugh dedicated many years to the United Way Campaign, organizing and overseeing activities and for the past eight years, she spent time working on the Day of Caring.

"Karen was an extremely dedicated volunteer and an important role model since the first Day of Caring," said event co-chair Col. Gerald Russell.

Anyone wishing to volunteer to help local, nonprofit organizations repair and clean, call (814) 238-2941. Adult participants will receive a T-shirt and a certificate. Housing and Food Services will provide a pancake breakfast at Beaver Stadium.
