Friends All Around 2024

Our annual fundraiser gala was a great success! This year’s Friends All Around celebrated 18 years since The Friendship Circle of Pittsburgh was established in 2006. Taking place at The Westin Pittsburgh, we honored our graduating seniors during a VIP reception; heard from parents, members, and executive staff; and watched the Friends All Around video, which wrapped up the year’s highlights and the milestones we’ve crossed after 18 years of friendship. Throughout the night, we enjoyed a live and silent auction, three different food stations, and a huge array of sweets catered by Bunny Bakes! Thank you to our sponsors and attendees who helped us surpass our fundraising goal, ensuring another great year of inclusive programming. “L’chaim,” or “cheers” to our 2024 graduates, members, families, staff, and everyone who has helped grow The Friendship Circle into what it is today!

TwitterFacebookLinkedinPrintemailA WEEKLY TORAH THOUGHT FROM RABBI MORDY We’ve all received unsolicited advice, right? And we’ve all responded by half-listening, when really, we’re not. It’s like our mind forms an instant emotional blockade: “You have no idea what it’s like to be me, and who are you to tell me how to do what I do?” This week’s Parsha (Yitro) contains… Read More
