HISTORY
Four members of a Juniata County
family were found dead in their home on January 25, 2002. Mark
Pannebaker, 37, his wife Marcy (Colyer) Pannebaker, 35, and their two
daughters Elena, 13 and Amanda, 10 were shot and killed, by
their son and brother, Steven Pannebaker.
The family members and community
were devastated by this horrific incident but are determined to make
something positive come out of it. As a result, Wings of Kindness
Foundation was established in memory of Mark, Marcy, Elena and Amanda,
who willing gave of themselves to help those less fortunate.
Wings of Kindness Foundation
provides financial assistance to local children and organizations that
assist in meeting the needs of young people in the Juniata River Valley.
Goals for the foundation include providing money for: scholarships,
college textbooks, food, clothing items, camps, health/fitness
memberships and in other areas where there may be a need. Providing an
outfit for a job interview, assisting in prom or class trip expenses, or
sponsoring a trip to a camp are just a few specific examples of the ways
in which underprivileged children are helped by the foundation.
Help us
