Champions for Children - 3/8/10
Supporting homeless children and bettering their futures was the mission of the evening at the 11th Annual Champions for Children Benefit, hosted by the Homeless Children’s Education Fund. The event, held at the Rivers Club, included both silent and Chinese auctions, which included prizes such as a Penguins Lollapalooza package, donated by Citizen’s Bank of Pennsylvania, and a personal tour of the Pittsburgh Steelers South Side Sports Complex and dinner with donors Brett and Sarah Keisel. Proceeds from the auctions benefited the HCEF’s endowment fund, which gives homeless children the same educational resources as their peers. Honorees for the evening were chairman of Citizen’s Bank Ralph and Ruth Anne Papa. Attendees enjoyed cuisine and beverages from the River’s Club, dessert from local chocolatiers, and live music from the Boilermaker Jazz Band. Photography by Megan Wylie
