Pitt Athletics’ Partners Step Forward During Pandemic

PITTSBURGH - Pittsburgh is a community with a terrific reputation for coming together during times of need. As Fred Rogers, one of the city's most famous personalities, once said;

"All of us, at some time or other, need help. Whether we're giving or receiving help, each one of us has something valuable to bring to this world. That's one of the things that connects us as neighbors--in our own way, each one of us is a giver and a receiver."

In the midst of the COVID-19 outbreak, Pitt Athletics' corporate partners are making it a priority to give back to the community.

"Our amazing corporate partners continue to look for every possible way to help make a positive impact in the community as we continue to fight the global COVID-19 pandemic," said Laila Brock, Vice President of Sponsorship Sales & Operations. "We are proud to partner with them and we're thankful for their commitment to assist those in need during these difficult times."

Pitt Athletics and Pitt Sports Marketing are proud to partner with these organizations and recognize their efforts to keep Pittsburgh Strong.
