The Allegheny County Music Festival Fund

The Allegheny County Music Festival Fund has been utilized for a wide variety of items and opportunities including:

  • A week of “live-in” summer camp for at-risk young persons to allow them to engage in healthy activities outside their neighborhood.
  • Lessons in dance, karate and music, and other positive outlets for self-expression for a child who is living in a homeless shelter with his or her mother to escape domestic violence.
  • The opportunity for a child receiving mental health services to spend quality time with his or her family at the Pittsburgh Zoo and PPG Aquarium or the National Aviary.
  • The opportunity for a young man or woman, transitioning into adulthood, to attend a college tour and set the course for his or her future.          
Monetary Donations

The funds to provide life-enriching items and opportunities to children are raised through two annual fundraisers:  Allegheny County Music Festival and Candidates’ Comedy Night.  As the demand for funds increases, so does the need to raise additional funds.  Please consider donating to this worthy cause.

Checks can be made out to:
