Night of Inspiration: 15 Years of Champions!

October 3, 2026 6PM-8PM

Get ready to celebrate 15 years of inspiration!

Join us on Saturday, October 3, 2026 at the Jewish Community Center of Pittsburgh in Squirrel Hill. It’s our official 15th birthday party, and we’re inviting you to celebrate the incredible journey of Connecting Champions! Together, we’ll honor 15 years of supporting the bravery of kids and young adults affected by cancer as we ring in the fall season.

Inspiration Awards Ceremony: Our signature ceremony takes center stage as we celebrate not just the transformative journeys of these courageous individuals, but also the 15-year impact of our mentor-champion relationships. Be prepared to be moved by their stories of resilience, determination, and triumph, which have defined our mission for a decade and a half.

Let’s raise a glass to hope and resilience! Help us fill the room with the light of joy and nostalgia as we mark this milestone. Enjoy our open bar featuring delicious wines and beers alongside a selection of delectable small bites! Mingle with fellow supporters and champions, savoring the connections that have made our work possible for 15 years.

Don’t miss this unforgettable anniversary experience! Secure your place now to be part of an extraordinary celebration. Together, let’s make this Night of Inspiration: 15 Years of Champions a night to remember, brimming with compassion, resilience, and the boundless possibilities that lie ahead for the next 15 years.

Dress Code:
Cocktail attire with a nod to Connecting Champions colors (blue, green, and gold/yellow). Think a blue dress or tie, a fun yellow accessory, or a playful touch of sparkle to fit our birthday theme!
