Robert and Donna Pullo

When lifelong philanthropists Robert (Bob) and Donna Pullo thought about leaving a legacy, they knew that they wanted to blend their passion for education and healthcare and make a difference. Their planned gift to the UPMC Pinnacle Foundation will not only honor their goals but create an impact on their beloved community for generations to come.

Originally from Massachusetts, Bob’s career started in 1958 when he left high school to work as a messenger for a local bank. Rising quickly through the ranks, he eventually became president of York Federal Savings and Loan, and eventually joined the board of Memorial Hospital in York, Pa. Now retired after a nearly 50-year career, Bob and Donna are able to enjoy life with their four grown children, five grandchildren, and two great-grandchildren. Making a difference not only for local non-profits and those in need, but serving as volunteers and visionaries in support of innovation, education, and humanitarian efforts in their community.

“When we came here, we had nothing… What we have today is very much a part of our whole community.”
—Robert Pullo

“We felt our money was in the right place, because their hearts were in the right place… It just felt good to give.”
—Donna Pullo
