The Cranberry CUP is proud to award this year’s Philanthropic Scholarship to Katera Koenig. Since 2022, Katera has demonstrated a strong commitment to serving others through her involvement in cheerleading, mentoring elementary students through Club Hope, organizing toy drives and fundraisers for UPMC Children’s programs, and volunteering at numerous community events, including the Cranberry CUP. Her dedication to helping others extends to participation in charitable walks and local community initiatives. This fall, Katera will attend Duquesne University to pursue a degree in nursing, continuing her passion for caring for others.
