MUG Board Members Walt Elmquist, Todd Householder, Crystal Miller, and Chris LaBarte dropped off toy donations and $2,500 in proceeds raised from the MUG Holiday Happy Hour.

Canonsburg, PA - December 11, 2018 - The Marcellus & Utica Gas Suppliers and Manufactures Association (MUG) donated toys and made a $2,500 donation to UPMC Children’s Hospital of Pittsburgh. The toys and money were donated by attendees of the Holiday Happy Hour in on December 10 that MUG hosted at All Star Sports Bar & Grill in Southpointe. This was the first Holiday Happy Hour event hosted by MUG, which had a large turnout of energy industry professionals from within the upstream and midstream sectors of the oil and gas industry.

Thanks to the many sponsors, who covered the cost of the event, and those who donated items to be raffled, MUG was able to donate 100% of the money generated. The total donation to UPMC Children’s Hospital of Pittsburgh was $2,500 along with hundreds of new toys that were donated by guests of the event. The donation was made in honor of Isaac, who recently completed his chemotherapy treatments at UPMC Children’s Hospital, and is the grandson of a long-time oil and gas industry professional and friend.
