Former Steelers defensive end Brett Keisel won the Bob Prince Award.
Art Rooney Sr. was always thinking of others. Whether it was his players ‘The Chief’ looked out for, or those in his North Side neighborhood, Rooney was always doing something to help.
So when he saw the Catholic Youth Association struggling financially back in the 1970s, he knew he needed to step in. It was one of his favorite charities, and he wasn’t about to see their valuable services decline, or worse yet, vanish.
It was that desire that the Art Rooney Award Dinner & Auction blossomed from, an annual event that benefits the Catholic Youth Association (CYA).
The CYA is a true neighborhood community center, operating in five sites and providing social, educational and health-related programs. Among the programs are a summer residential camp for over 200 boys and girls ages 7-14; Meals on Wheels; health and wellness activities for seniors; transportation programs for the elderly; and an intergenerational program that brings seniors and pre-school children together to form a bond.
The annual dinner brings together Pittsburgh’s leaders in business, education and sports to combine efforts and strength to help the CYA serve the most vulnerable in the community…children and the elderly. The dinner honors “Pittsburgh’s Champions,” those that have made a difference in the community and have a passion for Pittsburgh.
