About this episode

The episode discusses the Burgh Proud Challenge, a collaborative effort by Pittsburgh's sports teams to raise funds for hunger relief.

Pittsburghs sports teams, the Penguins, Pirates, and Steelers, are partnering with the Richard King Mellon Foundation and GoFundMe for the Burgh Proud Challenge. This month-long event in June 2026 aims to combat hunger by raising funds for the Greater Pittsburgh Community Food Bank. The challenge involves walking or running 30 miles in 30 days, with every dollar raised being matched up to a $1 million grant. Participants can register at pittsburghfoodbank.org/burghproud and receive incentives for reaching certain fundraising milestones. The goal is to provide meals for neighbors in need across the eleven-county area. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
