Flickinger Giving Heart Recognition announced
The 2023 Jonathan Flickinger Giving Heart Recognition has been awarded to Washington & Jefferson College sophomore Grant Gonotto. His name will appear on the Flickinger Giving Heart plaque recognizing each year’s selection and displayed on the W&J campus.
The annual Jonathan Flickinger Giving Heart Recognition, established in 2018 after Flickinger’s death on Dec. 28, 2017, recognizes W&J students and faculty who emulate the “giving heart” of Jonathan Flickinger. The Flickinger family makes it selection from nominations and offers gifts totaling $2,000 each year. Those selected contribute their monetary gift to the charity of their choice.
Gonot donated his $1,000 award to Promise Camp, a camp established to assist inner-city youth with outdoor experiences. Honorable recognitions went to Gabriella Lloyd and Emily Heck, who donated their $500 awards to the Butler Special Olympics and the Washington City Mission, respectively.
The Jonathan Flickinger Giving Heart Recognition is associated with the Washington County Community Foundation. Contributions can be submitted to https://www.wccf.net/for-donor/list-of-funds/jonathan-flickinger-giving-heart-fund/.
