We're doing amazing things!
The Susquenita Blackhawk Foundation, established in 2020 by Dr. John Rubisch, is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit dedicated to supporting education and extracurricular opportunities across Susquenita schools. The foundation provides grants, builds community partnerships, and recognizes outstanding students, staff, and community members for their contributions.
In just the 2024–2025 school year, the Foundation’s efforts have made a major impact. Thanks to generous EITC donations and community fundraising, the Foundation funded an Artist-in-Residence at the high school, a theater residency at the elementary school, and supported Read Across Susquenita at the middle school. It also helped purchase new equipment for elementary STEM programs and high school coding and robotics.
The Foundation further contributed to educational field trips, including seventh grade science, eighth grade social studies, and AP U.S. History. This fall, it will help bring the Pennsylvania Friends of Agriculture Foundation to the elementary school.
And perhaps most visibly, the Foundation played a key role in securing donations for the new state-of-the-art video board at Maguire’s Ford Field at Blackhawk Stadium—already enhancing athletic events, graduation, and school spirit.
In just a few short years, the Susquenita Blackhawk Foundation has grown into a powerful partner for students, staff, and the entire community—and looks forward to continuing to expand opportunities for years to come.
