As part of National Bullying Prevention Month, in October, WQED aired public service announcements for the Know What’s Right, Do What’s Right campaign. The Marcus L. Ruscitto Charitable Foundation developed and funded this pre-K to elementary school campaign to prepare young children to confront bullying behavior. The Foundation is underwriting announcements on both WQED channels this month, and local movie theaters will also show them prior to all feature presentations through January 2018.
The Marcus L. Ruscitto Charitable Foundation was established as a legacy to an energetic young leader and visionary who devoted his time to helping people grow and pursue their dreams. It invests in educational, charitable and research endeavors related to bullying prevention. The friends and family of Marcus Ruscitto are proud to continue with his work – inspiring others to live life with passion and purpose.
