Community Foundation for the Twin Tiers Receives Major Gift from Keystone Trails Association, Boosting Assets to $14 Million

Sayre, PA — The Community Foundation for the Twin Tiers (CFTT) is thrilled to announce a significant milestone in its growth, as the foundation’s assets have now reached an impressive $14 million. This achievement was made possible by a generous bequest from the estate of George Gardiner Probst, facilitated by the Keystone Trails Association (KTA).
In honor of George Gardiner Probst, a substantial portion of this bequest has been invested in the Keystone Trails Endowment fund, ensuring the continued support and maintenance of our region’s cherished trails. George, a resident of Wellsville, NY, just north of the Pennsylvania line, was a dedicated veteran of both the United States Navy and the United States Air Force. His life was marked by a deep love for the outdoors and an unwavering commitment to community service. As a Mason, a member of the Susquehannock Trail Club, and the Finger Lakes Trail Conference, George was a passionate advocate for hiking, backpacking, fishing, hunting, camping, and particularly enjoyed canoeing the Pine Creek in the Grand Canyon of Pennsylvania.
