We are #BurghProud.

Today, the Pittsburgh Penguins, Pirates, and Steelers, in partnership with the Richard King Mellon Foundation and GoFundMe, announced the launch of the #BurghProud Challenge – a month-long initiative in June 2026 encouraging the region to raise critical funds and awareness for the Greater Pittsburgh Community Food Bank to help neighbors facing food insecurity.

The challenge: Walk 30 miles in June 2026, start a fundraiser, and raise as much as possible for the Greater Pittsburgh Community Food Bank. Free to join and open to the public, the #BurghProud challenge invites the community to support their neighbors facing food insecurity. Neighbors helping neighbors.
