PITT OHIO Employee Supported Charities 

Autism Speaks

Autism is the fastest-growing serious developmental disability in the U.S. and the prevalence figures are growing. Autism now affects 1 in 36 children. PITT OHIO’s efforts and hard work has helped to grow Autism awareness.

PITT OHIO is "On the Road for The Cure." Our employees have been raising money for Autism Research since 2000. PITT OHIO became involved with Autism Speaks through one of our employees, who is the proud father of two sons on the Autism Spectrum. These two boys, along with the other children of our employees who would benefit from this research, motivate PITT OHIO each year to raise more and more money for research.

Since its first walk in 2000, PITT OHIO employees have participated in the Walk Now For Autism Speaks, held annually in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. In 2009, PITT OHIO expanded its support for Autism Speaks to its terminals by participating in walks across the company´s footprint.

Pittsburgh held the first walk for autism in the year 2000, and now, over 20 years later, there are over 100 walks nationwide!

Since 2000, PITT OHIO employees have donated over $500,000 to Autism Speaks.

Polar Plunge

PITT OHIO has been supporting the Special Olympics for many years. Their polar plunges across the state of Pennsylvania are their largest fundraisers, used to raise money for the Special Olympic Athletes. Long before we formed our own PITT OHIO Plunge Team, Vice President of Operations Brad Caven has led a team of volunteers who join him at the Plunge each year to grill up and serve burgers and hot sausage for the brave plungers. 

Through sponsorship and employee donations, PITT OHIO has donated over $189,000 to the Special Olympics of Pennsylvania.
