Allegheny County Executive Dan Onorato and U.S. Steel Chairman and CEO John Surma announced today that Christine Fulton, a longtime fundraising and real estate expert, has been named the executive director of the Allegheny County Parks Foundation. Mr. Onorato launched the foundation — which Mr. Surma chairs — last year to raise private money to renovate the county’s nine regional parks.
He earmarked $10 million in county capital funds to match a hoped-for $10 million in private funds to address deferred maintenance issues, recreational improvements, facility upgrades and other issues within the county’s 12,000 acres of parklands.
Ms. Fulton, 47, of Mount Washington, has been a fundraiser for Pitt’s McGowan Institute for Regenerative Medicine, the University of Chicago and Northwestern University. READ MORE.
