Moxie Women's Network
In 2016, Lisa Krall, Owner of Park Avenue Wealth Management, founded The Moxie Women’s Network, a social empowerment platform that builds relationships and shares resources with women throughout Westmoreland County.
With quarterly events located in Latrobe, Ligonier, and Greensburg, each meeting provides networking opportunities and topics valuable to female businesswomen in our region. These topics range from writing to public speaking and even self-defense, helping women grow personally and professionally.
Community Educator
For over four years Lisa has hosted financial education seminars for the community of Hempfield township. Attendees have enjoyed more than 48 workshops ranging from general financial knowledge to specific issues such as women’s economic independence.
Pioneering these conversations is critical to cultivating trust between clients and financial professionals. These workshops provide the attendees with confidence to have “the finance talk.”

This past year funds were raised for Basic Health International.
This organization is based in Pittsburgh, PA, and raises awareness for cervical cancer and works to provide women with the healthcare they need to prevent this disease.
BHI has taken its fieldwork, diplomacy, and advocacy models, expertise in research and innovation and built a model that communities worldwide can use. This model can also be applied to other viral diseases affecting vulnerable communities, like the COVID-19 crisis. Currently, BHI assists in clinical trials and programs focused on cervical cancer in El Salvador, Peru, Colombia, Haiti, and China. Our work during COVID-19 has expanded additional research sites for test validation in El Salvador, Malawi, Nigeria, and Paraguay.
Toys 4 Tots
Our toy collection begins in October and lasts until mid to late December. Clients, friends, and family drop off unwrapped toys in the collection box at our office for distribution.
At Christmas, Toys for Tots partners with local social welfare agencies, church groups, and other local community agencies to distribute the toys to the community's less fortunate children.
Over the years, Park Avenue Wealth Management has donated hundreds of toys to children in need within our community, bringing happiness to them and their families.
Seton Hill Adopt a Family
This organization partners with Park Avenue Wealth Management during the Christmas holiday. They strive to be the premier early education provider in the communities and serve by preparing children and families to enter school and successfully close the existing achievement gaps. Our firm contributes Christmas gifts to at least one family with children per year.
Park Avenue Wealth Management places giving back at the top of our list. There are needs within our community that we can see and take action to fulfill. Childcare is costly, and some families are unable to provide a large Christmas for their children because of other expenses. We are happy to provide help to their parents and place smiles on the children's faces!
