TEAM PITTSBURGH

Team Pittsburgh
– is the first regional team of the national Climb for Hope—was created this summer with the shared purpose of beating breast cancer…now. Made up of five Pittsburghers, ages 33 to 51, the Team’s goal is to raise $50,000 to honor the 50,000 women who lost their fights with breast cancer in the US last year.
