We’re excited to share that our President & CEO, Charity Field, will be trading the office for the dance floor as a contestant in the Bradford County Regional Arts Council’s Dancing with the Stars! 💃✨

Charity will be dancing alongside Waverly School District Superintendent Dr. Eric Knolles, with choreography by Emily Soden, all in support of an organization that brings arts, culture, and creativity to our communities.

At CFTT, we believe strong communities are built through connection, participation, and showing up for the organizations that make our region a special place to call home…and this time, Charity is showing up in dancing shoes! ❤️

We can’t wait to cheer her on!

A day of learning, connection, and looking ahead!

The Community Foundation for the Twin Tiers Board of Directors recently came together for a day focused on strengthening our knowledge, our relationships, and our impact across the communities we serve.

A special thank you to Mike Batchelor of the Pennsylvania Community Foundation Association for joining us to share insights on trends in community philanthropy, the impact of community foundations, and opportunities for the future.

With additional learning, meaningful conversations, and a little time for team building, it was a great day of growing together as a board and continuing to build an even stronger CFTT for the communities we call home.
