local change for local people

How we work

The Susquehanna Valley Foundation is a platform for people who care about their community and want to do something about it. SVF isn’t backed by huge financiers or a national network of volunteers. We’re looking to the everyday people who have ideas but don’t know where to start; maybe it’s someone who can’t find anyone else that cares about a certain cause; perhaps it’s just someone who wants to help their community but doesn’t know how. Regardless of the reason, SVF is a resource for those who want to be a part of local change for local people.

Host fundraising events that are fun, memorable, inviting, and effective

Raise awareness for issues important to the community
Build partnerships with other organizations to expand reach and effectiveness

“The best part of Toss For Troops is getting together with friends to celebrate a good cause and then being able to talk with the veterans and hearing their stories.”

T4T

Each year we host a fundraiser called T4T that includes two main events, Toss For Troops and Trot for Troops. These two events have raised over $35,000 for Pennsylvania Veterans. Toss For Troops is a corn hole tournament and tasting event held around Veteran’s Day each year. Trot For Troops is a 5k run/walk held on the same day. Both events are opportunities for people to come out and have a good time while raising money for an important cause. The proceeds go directly to the Pennsylvania Veteran’s Foundation, which helps struggling veterans in crisis. The Pennsylvania Veteran’s Foundation (PVF), dedicates each day to PA Vets. Whatever assistance they need, PVF gets it to them. We believe in their compassion and effectiveness and that is why we donate all proceeds to them every year.

This event has been a huge success and continues to grow in turnout and sponsors each year. Going forward, we will be adding to the “T4T” umbrella of events.
