Tocqueville Society

Gus Faucher and Amy Crawford-Faucher bring unique perspectives to their roles as Tocqueville Society Co-Chairs. We asked them about their work and what they wish people knew about United Way.

Tocqueville donors Kate and Alex Gionta met in 2005. She was from Ebensburg, a small Pennsylvania town, and he was from nearby Murrysville. They met at their first job at KPMG and fell for each other and the City of Pittsburgh. Married in 2012, the Giontas have lived downtown for over a decade. Kate also serves on the Tocqueville Society committee.

Giving back isn’t a moment—it’s a mindset, and I’m honored to be part of a community like the Tocqueville Society that shares that belief.

Family is the first influence for most people and on this dimension of “giving back” family is where it starts for me.
