25 Years of Impact—and One Unforgettable Night!
This year’s In the Pocket fundraiser was more than just an amazing night—it was a birthday bash 25 years in the making!
We threw on our party hats, cranked up the music, and celebrated a huge milestone: 25 years of Best of the Batch Foundation supporting thousands of local kids and families. And what better way to mark the occasion than with a night full of fun, food, music, and a little friendly competition?
Guests went head-to-head with Steelers players and local celebs in ping pong, pool, poker, and more. The vibe? All smiles, high-fives, and just the right amount of bragging rights. Add in a fantastic auction, great drinks, and a whole lot of community spirit—and you’ve got one unforgettable celebration.
But beyond the games and good times, this night was about something even bigger. Every dollar raised helps us keep our Out of School Time and STEAM programs going strong—especially during those critical after school hours when kids need safe, fun, and supportive spaces the most. After 25 years, we’re proud to say: we’re just getting started.
To everyone who came out, donated, played, and partied with us—THANK YOU. Your generosity and support fuel our mission and help us build a better, safer community, one child at a time.
Here’s to 25 years of teamwork, growth, and impact—and to all the amazing things still to come. See you next year, same time, same place (and maybe with even bigger party hats)!
