On December 16, the Will Allen Foundation’s Holiday Giving Event brought together 60 students from Clairton and Duquesne. Each student received a gift card and was paired with an adult volunteer to help them shop for gifts for their families.
Many of our students chose presents for parents, grandparents, or siblings. Volunteers help them budget, make their purchases, and wrap the gifts. At the end of the night, students were surprised with a gift from their own wish list. Add in holiday snacks, laughter, and community (plus some special guests including our own founder, former Steeler, Will Allen along with Charlie Batch, Arthur Moats, and Ryan Shazier) and it was a truly special evening.
Special thanks to our amazing sponsors for making this year’s event a huge success!
