We are honored to be the recipient of a special corporate executive sponsored grant of $5,000 from the EQT Foundation. THANK YOU for being committed to our courageous!

OTA CEO, Monica Orluk had the honor of being the Principal Speaker at Memorial Day Services held at the Calvary Cemetery, The Run War Memorial and the Hazelwood War Memorial in Pittsburgh PA.  Monica was joined by Allegheny County Commissioner, Rich Fitszgerald, State Representative Dan Frankel and City Councilman Cory O’Connor.  Invited by the members of VFW Post 274, Monica spoke as a representive of the very Americans our brave heroes died for.  Her poignant thoughts included a challenge to all in attendance to honor their service by giving to others, using their gifts and talents for good and being the best Americans they can be.  She closed her speech by reciting a quote sent to her “The most expensive thing you own is your Freedom.  Even if you didn’t pay for it”.  Thank you to all those who attended these special events!
