90 for 90 Campaign Raises $233,000
The 90 for 90 Campaign was an endeavor to raise $90,000 + over a 12-month period in recognition of our 90th anniversary. Through a combination of our own fundraising events and generous corporate sponsorships, we shattered our initial goal and raised $232,000 for 14 local charitable organizations.
The funds were distributed at our 90th Anniversary Gala held at Wheeling Island-Hotel-Casino-Racetrack on January 17th. With over 250 people in attendance, the gala featured an electric evening of celebrating that included check presentations, donor recognition, and dancing to the high-energy sounds of Pittsburgh’s #1 party band—No Bad JuJu.
