A message from CMU Executive Director Greg McCutcheon.

CMU condemns the senseless killing of George Floyd. CMU takes pride in the fact that many of our employees are engaging in peaceful protests to bring about long overdue changes in the overt and systemic racism that has plagued our country for far too long.

CMU is proud that our employees, consumers and communities represent a widely diverse culture. This diversity makes the events we’ve seen recently that much more difficult for us. I’d like to reaffirm our commitment to embracing inclusiveness and being a part of the struggle for fairness and equality for all.

We will always condemn acts of hatred, injustice, racism, prejudice and violence. We will continue to strive to promote unity within our communities and agency, so that all races, creeds, sexual orientation can live in a peaceful world.

CMU-CASE MANAGEMENT UNIT - Highmark Walk for a Healthy Community

Attention Participants and Donors of the CMU Highmark Walk

Out of an abundance of caution and for the protection and safety of our CMU Walk participants and volunteers, the difficult decision has been made to modify the CMU Highmark Walk to an online only fundraiser and virtual walk for this year's campaign.
This modification ensures that CMU is still able to fundraise, while not putting participants at risk of further spread of the COVID-19 virus in a mass gathering situation. This change is also in accordance with the CDC's recommendation of social distancing and avoiding mass gatherings.
To make a donation to the CMU fundraising efforts, please click on the link at the bottom of this email to visit the CMU Highmark Walk homepage. Then click on the "Donate Now" button to make a donation.

New information regarding the Highmark Walk for a Healthy Community:

Out of an abundance of caution and for the protection and safety of our Walk participants and volunteers, the difficult decision has been made to modify all seven 2020 Highmark Walks for a Healthy Community to an online only fundraiser and virtual walk for this year's campaign.
This modification ensures that our participating organizations are still able to fundraise, via our online platform, while not putting participants at risk of further spread of the COVID-19 virus in a mass gathering situation. This change is also in accordance with the CDC's recommendation of social distancing and avoiding mass gatherings.
While this year's Walk for a Healthy Community throughout Pennsylvania and Delaware will be online and virtual only, this approach provides the 273 local nonprofit health and human service organizations a way to safely participate and raise funds.
Details of the changes in regards to fundraising incentives, T-shirt distribution, and donation deadlines are provided below.
Changes for the 2020 Highmark Walk for a Healthy Community:
• A virtual walk is a real walk, but it's on your terms! Anytime between May 9 and June 30, you choose how and when you walk (treadmill, park or trail, or around the neighborhood). It's your choice! You also pick the time of when you start and stop!
• This year to keep up the momentum of individual fundraising, we have lowered the minimum amount raised to receive a T-shirt to $15 before June 30, 2020. (The previous amount was $30.) T-shirts will be distributed to organizational leaders in July.
• We will continue to offer one raffle ticket for every $50 raised. Raffle chances are tracked online within the individual walker milestone trackers on the Luminate online system. All donations much be credited to the individual walker account by the walk organization by June 30, 2020. Prizes will be distributed in July.
Additional details will be communicated via the Walk email system as well as on the Highmark Walk page in the coming days.

CMU continues to look forward to participating in this event!

Gov. Wolf orders all non-life sustaining businesses in Pa. to close

In case you are wondering, Governor Wolf’s order to close all non-life sustaining businesses does not effect CMU services. CMU and other social service agencies are considered “life sustaining” and Wolf’s order exempts agencies like CMU that assists individuals and families.
