Book ‘Em Needs Your Books & Paper Bags

July 11, 2016 Lindsay

Attention book lovers! Book ‘Em is a Pittsburgh non-profit that needs your help to send books to prisoners in Pennsylvania. I spent a few hours yesterday in the basement of a building on Penn Avenue yesterday with a group of volunteers who were picking out books and packing them up to be sent to prisoners across the state.  I had no idea that the basement below the Thomas Merton Center was set up as a little book-shop by mail.  If you love browsing book stores and picking out books then this is the volunteer opportunity for you! Prisoners from across… Read the rest

Reverse Keg Ride 2011 Includes Costume Contest for Best PGH Costume!

October 26, 2011 Lindsay

For those of you looking for a way to celebrate Halloween while getting some exercise – think of it as canceling out the candy – or you really love bicycles and beer – this is the event for you. Its time for the annual Reverse Keg Ride. What is a Reverse Keg Ride? A few years ago, End End Brewing decided that the best way to get the first keg of Pedal Pale Ale to the bar was by bike.  And thus the keg ride was born. And each year a few more people decided to come along for the… Read the rest

October 11, 2010 Lindsay

UPDATE 10/13: We just made a donation on PittsburghGives.org to BikePGH – which received over 40% of the votes!  Thanks to everyone who voted.  ALSO – wanted to clarify that the match is a prorated share of the total $500,000 – not a dollar for dollar match – a change from last year.  This is still a great way to help your favorite organization boost their fundraising.  Donations will be accepted until midnight on October 13, 2010. =========================== For the second year in a row – the Pittsburgh Foundation is organizing the Day of Giving – on October 13, 2010… Read the rest

Social Media Share – How Do You Use Social Media for Your Business/Blog/Organization/Non-profit?

July 23, 2010 Lindsay

Image by biblicone via Flickr Tomorrow I will be a panelist for one of the sessions at the Pittsburgh Craft Collective’s  The Business of Craft workshop.I am sitting here at my computer putting together some links and ideas on how I use social media – blogs, facebook, twitter – for IheartPGH and some of the other projects I manage for work.  I thought it might be interesting to have a conversation here in the comments about how other Pittsburgh groups, businesses, blogs, non-profits are using online tools. … Read the rest

Pittsburgh Party for a Purpose head to Firehouse Lounge this Weekend

May 14, 2009 Lindsay

Its time for another fantastic party from the folks behind Pittsburgh Party for a Purpose – every other month they get together to host a party at a local watering hole and the proceeds from the evening benefit an area non-profit. I stopped by the last Party for a Purpose back in February at Hough’s in Greenfield. I have to say Hough’s was really great (and our post inspired FoodBurgh to stop by for a full review – FoodBurgh has some great posts and it is great to see they are posting their updates on UrbanSpoon too!) The next Pittsburgh… Read the rest
