What a day! ⛳️💛

The 2026 Kidcelerate Golf Tournament was about more than a round of golf. It was a day filled with laughter, generosity, old friends, new connections, and a community coming together for Pittsburgh kids.

Your support reaches far beyond the course, helping create more opportunities for kids to learn, grow, build relationships, and thrive throughout our community.

We're grateful for another incredible year, and even more excited about what we're building together. See you next year!

It's felt in the everyday moments when a child or family knows someone is there for them. Liz gets to see those moments firsthand and behind each one is a community of people who chose to care.

Our annual golf tournament on September 14 helps make another year of those moments possible. Whether you're joining us at Diamond Run or cheering us on from somewhere else, you can still be part of the impact.
