Pribanic & Pribanic, a Pittsburgh law firm, is sponsoring two community events this month in the White Oak and Mon Valley area: the Fido Food Truck Fest on Sept. 12 in White Oak and the Yough n Roll Bike Ride and Party on the Trail on Sept. 19 in Elizabeth Township. The sponsorships highlight the firm's commitment to the communities it serves and provide critical support for local organizations focused on animal welfare and outdoor recreation.
The Fido Food Truck Fest is the fifth annual fundraiser for White Oak Animal Safe Haven, a no-kill animal shelter founded in 2003. The event runs from 2 to 6 p.m. at White Oak Volunteer Fire Department No. 1 and will include food trucks, basket raffles, a 50/50 raffle and mystery boxes. Last year's event raised about $10,000 to help fund the shelter's medical care, training, grooming and adoption programs. Such fundraising is vital for the shelter's operations, and the firm's sponsorship helps ensure these services continue.
The Yough n Roll Bike Ride and Party on the Trail is organized by the Mon/Yough Trail Council, an all-volunteer 501(c)(3) organization with more than 500 members that maintains 15 miles of the Great Allegheny Passage. The 32nd annual event starts at Boston Riverfront Park and Rhino Memorial Field and offers 20- and 40-mile bike routes along the Youghiogheny River, along with a shorter Family Fun Ride for families. A community party follows the ride with music, local artists, historians, food, giveaways, children's games and representatives from area public safety agencies. Last year the trail hosted visitors from 48 states and 20 countries, and volunteers logged more than 5,000 hours maintaining the trail. Tim Banfield is the Mon/Yough Trail Council's contact for the event. More information is available at thebostontrail.com.
Pribanic & Pribanic's sponsorships support two organizations that serve the White Oak and Mon Valley community, from animal welfare to outdoor recreation along the Great Allegheny Passage. The firm's involvement not only provides financial assistance but also raises awareness for these causes. In a region where community ties are strong, such corporate backing can inspire others to contribute. The Fido Food Truck Fest directly aids a no-kill shelter that relies on donations for its life-saving work. The Yough n Roll event promotes healthy, family-friendly activity and highlights the economic and cultural value of the Great Allegheny Passage, which draws visitors from across the nation and globe. By sponsoring these events, Pribanic & Pribanic reinforces its role as a community partner and helps sustain initiatives that improve quality of life in the Mon Valley.
