First WVU Game Day!

Thanks to the generosity of wonderful donors from near and far, four of our boys had the opportunity to attend their first WVU football game.

They were excited to experience everything that comes with game day, from the atmosphere and the crowd to cheering on the Mountaineers in person.

We are incredibly grateful to the donors who continue to provide our boys with new experiences and memories they will carry with them for years to come.

A First Steelers Game to Remember

One of our lucky boys and members of our staff had the opportunity to attend a Pittsburgh Steelers preseason game thanks to Tickets for Kids.

It was his first Steelers game, and the excitement started well before kickoff with a ride on the Gateway Clipper over to the stadium. From the boat ride to experiencing the energy of the game in person, it was a day filled with firsts and plenty of excitement.

Thank you to Tickets for Kids for giving our boys opportunities to experience special moments like this and create memories that will last a lifetime.
