About Claude Worthington Benedum Foundation:
The Claude Worthington Benedum Foundation is dedicated to encouraging human development in West Virginia and Southwestern Pennsylvania through strategically placed charitable resources. Michael Benedum operated his worldwide oil and gas business from corporate headquarters in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Michael and Sarah Benedum named the foundation in memory of their only child, Claude Worthington Benedum, who died in 1918 at age 20. In creating the foundation in 1944, the Benedum expressed the wish that grant making be focused in West Virginia and Pittsburgh, their native and adopted homes. The foundation has authorized grants totaling more than $410,000,000.
About Wash Arts:
The Washington Community Arts and Cultural Center is the home of Wash Arts, a community based arts program located in the heart of Washington PA. Founded in 2002, Wash Arts has provided art, music, theater, and literature to enhance the quality of life for many children in the Southwestern PA region for over 10 years. Their Mission: “All children should have the opportunity to explore the arts and to grow in ways that might never been imagined.”
Office of the Mayor:
In 2012, the City of Washington adopted a Joint Multi-Municipal Comprehensive Plan. One of the recommendations in this plan was to turn vacant lots into public spaces. Through this great partnership we are able to implement the beautification of a vacant lot and convert it into a Cultural Art Park. The art will be designed by the youth in our Community. This initiative will enhance and help the revitalization efforts to Fight Against Blight in the Central Business District of our City. “My belief and goal as Mayor of this City is to always work towards the betterment of the lives of our residents and our entire Community.”
