March Madness and April PULSEations

1 Comment

Back in March, a group of Pittsburgh bloggers organized a March Madness bracket challenge – we all agreed that each blog would write a post about the winning bloggers favorite nonprofit organization. Kate Stoltzfus (aka the brains behind the blog Yinzpiration) had the winning bracket and her nonprofit of choice is PULSE.  I am more than happy to write about PULSE as I think this is one nonprofit that has been quietly making a big impact on some Pittsburgh neighborhoods and is well positioned to continue to do more for the city. PULSE stands for Pittsburgh Urban Leadership Service Experience.  … Read the rest

e2 Kickstarter Project – Support a Local Eatery

I have been thinking a lot about how Pittsburgh could be an amazing urban test lab for some of the best ideas from around the country.  Pittsburgh is a big city that isn’t too big and Pittsburghers are passionate and ready to help other people who are in need.  I continue to be awestruck by just the power of the bloggers who have been collaborating on charity projects and have been raising money and doing good things for Pittsburgh and beyond. We have some good ideas happening here in Pittsburgh – for example – The Union Project has transformed an… Read the rest

Food for Fashion – December 6

This must be the year of great collaborations.  I have been spending all morning finalizing some details for the Steelers Watching/Chevy Test Drive Party on Sunday – I will post all the details as soon as I get everything finalized. But I am also happy to share this event on Monday – which is another great collaboration – 3 local vintage businesses, Daffodil Vintage, Red Pop Shop, Crazy Hot Clothes are teaming up to throw a fashion show.  Each of these businesses operates online from their homes here in Pittsburgh so this is a rare chance to check out their… Read the rest
