HITW is an amazing organization that serves children with life threatening illnesses, enabling them to experience summer camp free of charge. This is made possible through fund raising events like the Big Apple Bash. APC has been a major sponsor of this event for 10 years and during this time, has raised over $10 million for Camp. Peter and his family have also served as camp counselor volunteers. In 2019, Peter and his wife made a donation to the Greater Rochester YMCA to build their newest branch in Pittsford, NY. The branch construction was completed in 2109 and has been named the Schottland Family YMCA. Also in 2019 Peter was inducted into the Rochester Business Hall of Fame, an incredible honor for him as the Rochester community has always meant so much to Peter and his family.
