Crawford Gives 2025

THANK YOU to all who participated in Crawford Gives 2025!

Friends of Drake Well is pleased to announce that we raised $3,412.81 during this year's Crawford Gives event, reaching 68% of our goal of $5,000. All proceeds from this campaign will support our school tour transportation assistance program for the 2025-2026 school year!

The Crawford Heritage Community Foundation's annual Crawford Gives took place over ninety-six hours from Tuesday, August 12 through midnight on Friday, August 15. This special event allowed generous people and businesses the opportunity to support nonprofit organizations that are helping meet the needs of our community, including Friends of Drake Well, Inc. Friends of Drake Well is the community-based nonprofit that actively supports the Pennsylvania Historical and Museum Commission in the administration and operation of Drake Well Museum and Park, as well as its associated sites of Historic Pithole City and McClintock Well #1.

Friends of Drake Well has participated in Crawford Gives for several years; the past two years it raised funding to support Drake Well Museum's Free Transportation Program for school tours. The group raised $1,925 in 2023; last year was $1,777. All proceeds from Crawford Gives go specifically to those schools who wish to visit Drake Well Museum but need assistance in paying the costs of transportation. In the last two school years, Friends of Drake Well spent a combined total of $14,837 in grant funding on transportation costs for 34 different school tour groups. Of that grant funding, approximately $3,703 was from Crawford Gives.
