The Mirror is seeking nominations for its 2025 Season of Sharing recipient.

Started in 2005, Season of Sharing uses the reach of the local newspaper and altoonamirror.com, the expertise of the Central Pennsylvania Community Foundation and residents’ generosity to benefit area nonprofits.

The annual holiday appeal, now in its 21st year, has raised $468,512 since its inception.

Last year’s campaign raised a record $74,244 for the Central Pennsylvania Humane Society.

“The local humane society saw a tremendous outpouring of support last year,” said Mirror publisher Dan Slep. “We want to keep that momentum going this year for another organization.”

The Mirror is proud to support the community, Slep said, adding “We know we’ll get nominations from very deserving nonprofits, and we look forward to selecting another worthy recipient for Season of Sharing.”

A brief nomination form can be found as a PDF by going to bit.ly/320j9cz.

The nomination form must be printed out and mailed to the Mirror at: Season of Sharing, 301 Cayuga Ave., Altoona, PA 16602. The deadline for nominations is 4 p.m. Tuesday, Oct. 7.

Questions can be directed to Slep at 814-946-7426 or dslep@altoonamirror.com.
