I want to thank everyone who joined us this past Saturday at the 11th Annual FontanaFest at Highmark Stadium! It was a beautiful day Saturday and the stadium was filled with many fun and educational activities and games for children, parents and grandparents.
FontanaFest is a 501 (c)(3) and would not be possible without the great support from our sponsors. Thanks to the following organizations for their tremendous support!
I also want to offer special thanks to the Pittsburgh Riverhounds and Highmark Stadium for hosting us and for their assistance in allowing us to stage such a terrific event. Thank you to Station Square for providing FontanaFest’s guests with free parking.
Children in attendance had the opportunity to be active by playing soccer, rock climbing, and through a series of inflatables as well as visiting with balloon and face painting artists. I appreciate the following organizations for having a presence at FontanaFest, providing guests with important information and in many cases also a family fun activity or craft: Allegheny County Sheriff; Carnegie Science Center; Carnegie Library of Pittsburgh and the Library for the Blind and Physically Handicapped; Children’s Museum of Pittsburgh; Homeless Children’s Education Fund; Pittsburgh International Children’s Theater; WQED-TV; Junior Achievement of Western PA; The Home Depot; Calgon Carbon; Holy Family Institute; Builders Guild of Western PA; Mt. Washington CDC; YMCA of Bellevue; ALCOSAN; Pittsburgh Parks Conservancy; and Penn State Center Pittsburgh.
We were also fortunate this year to be joined at FontanaFest by students from Pittsburgh Musical Theater in the West End who entertained guests with a series of performances in the afternoon. Thank you to everyone for attending and I hope you enjoyed the day!
