History

Image of Frank PetroneIt has been full circle for one member of the Cranberry Township Community Chest. In 1975, the Cranberry Township Rotary decided its main project for the year would be to start a Community Chest. Frank Petrone, then president of the Cranberry Township Rotary and now one of CTCC’s 11 board members, recalls how the Boy Scouts, Girl Scouts, J.C.,Women’s Club, Fire Company, and Ambulance Corps had to solicit funds any way they could.

Community Chest’s first slogan was “Watch the Tree Grow”and a tree-shaped campaign sign was planted at Route 19 and Criders Corner, where Burger King now stands. Like CTCC’s original tree, Frank’s dedication continues to grow. His ongoing guidance in giving back to the community symbolize what makes Cranberry both a great community and a special place to call home.
