UnWrapping the Union Project

If you are a regular reader of IheartPGH, you will know that I am a HUGE fan of the Union Project. The Union Project is a former church that has been lovingly restored into a community center and cafe in East Liberty. I have been working with a great group of people to put together UnWrapped. UnWrapped in the annual holiday fundraiser for the Union Project.
Great food, drinks, music and lots of silent auction items will be available. We have a great team working to put the event together and I think the decorations are going to look amazing.

UnWrapped at the Union Project
Saturday, December 1
7-10pm
801 N. Negley Ave
$35 in advance, $45 at the door
