Guests explored Pittsburgh's
storied past while contributing to the future of the children at Angels' Place. This special
event included entrance to the museum, exhibits, hors d'oeuvres, music, a hosted happy hour,
silent auction, and luxury basket raffle. Andrew Stockey, WTAE-TV News Anchor, was our magnificent emcee for the evening.
A portion of the proceeds will benefit Angels' Place and will help support the renovation of its playground/outdoor
classroom at its Brookline Center.
At its three locations in
Pittsburgh (Brookline, Swissvale, and North Side), Angels' Place supports young parents who
want to complete their education, creating brighter futures for themselves and their children.
Student parents receive comprehensive, free services including child care accredited by the National Association for the Education
of Young Children (NAEYC). Other programs offered include tutoring, support groups, as well
as counseling and parenting, nutrition, child safety, and life skills classes.
Angels' Place plans to create a natural
playground with the funds received from MLJWC. This will help children experience all the elements
in an outdoor environment. These elements can include sand, grass, wood, and living plants. Angels' Place
believes this can be especially beneficial to children who live in an urban setting and do not
have regular access to parks, gardens, or other types of greenspace.
