It was a meaningful evening at this year’s Advancing the Impact event at the PNC Home Plate Club. We were honored to gather with Leadership Donors: Million Dollar Roundtable, Tocqueville Society, Bridges Society and Women United members, to celebrate the many ways United Way strengthens our community beyond funding.

The evening highlighted United Way’s role as a connector, covenor and catalyst for change across our nonprofit network, while also beginning the countdown to our 100th anniversary in 2027. Thank you to our sponsors, the Pittsburgh Pirates, UPMC and UPMC Health Plan, for helping make this special event possible.
