The Tuscarora Wayne Mutual Foundation, the charitable foundation of Tuscarora Wayne Insurance Company, has contributed $3,000 to Kish for the Cure, Kish's employee-led fundraising campaign benefiting local cancer-fighting organizations. The gift was made through the Kish Community Foundation, which administers charitable contributions for the campaign.

The contribution was presented at the Kish Innovation Center in Reedsville, where representatives from Kish and Tuscarora Wayne gathered to celebrate their shared commitment to strengthening the communities they serve.

Since its inception in 2012, Kish for the Cure has raised more than $728,000 for cancer-related nonprofits serving Central Pennsylvania, including a record $103,000 raised in 2025. The 2026 campaign is taking place throughout October, bringing together Kish employees, business partners, customers and community members in the fight against cancer.
