At the Centre Furnace Mansion and the Boogersburg School
Thursday, October 5, 2023

Never doubt that a small group of committed people can change the world. Indeed, it is the only thing that ever has. ~Margaret Mead

Our sincere gratitude to the over 200 individuals, organizations and businesses who volunteered and contributed to the 2023 United Way Day of Caring at the Centre Furnace Mansion and the Boogersburg School historic sites.

This was a highly successful and productive day and included much weeding, mulching, staining, trail work, Furnace Stack and other clean-up, and good cheer!

The Centre County Historical Society benefits tremendously from this special day at the Mansion. The impact on the maintenance and beautification of the sites, seen especially in the landscape, has been immeasurable. Both the Centre Furnace Mansion and Boogersburg School look splendid, spruced up and ready for another year of visitors and activities!

THANK YOU CENTRE COUNTY UNITED WAY! and PNC Bank For all of the efforts and support that goes into hosting the Day of Caring. We are grateful for the opportunity to be one of the many host sites for the PNC United Way Day of Caring in the past 30 years. Through the Day of Caring, Centre County United Way has completed over 4000 projects, enlisted over 70,000 volunteers, and saved Centre County non-profit organizations over 10 million dollars since it began.

Oh behalf of the Board of Governors of the Centre County Historical Society, we extend our warmest appreciation to Centre County United Way and to all [outlined below] who have graciously donated materials and/or took time from your busy schedules to join us on the Day of Caring and make it a highly productive day!
