Dear Reader,
Did you hear? Give Big Pittsburgh is happening right now, and we’re hoping you’ll help make this a truly awesome day of giving for our community.
So far today, we’ve raised $1,423, and we’re not done yet. We’re writing to ask you to take two minutes to give to PublicSource. It’s quick, it’s easy and here’s the best part — it’s like giving twice because, thanks to our generous match pool supporters, every gift is matched up to $1,000!
PLUS: Your gift enters you in our giveaway! If you make a gift at GiveBigPittsburgh or on our website, you’ll be entered to win 2 tickets valued at $170 to the Glow Ball this Friday, December 1! ** This one-of-a-kind event will be at Oakland’s iconic PAA building, illuminated for the holidays by artist Ian Brill. The tickets include food, 2 drink tickets, dancing and more. Put on your fun and festive cocktail attire and get ready to glimmer, dazzle, sparkle, and glow! As of this writing, you'd have a one-in-19 chance of winning the tickets; those are pretty good odds, wouldn't you say?
Your MATCHED donation of any amount will help us:
- Produce in-depth investigations in the public interest.
- Sustain top-quality reporting on important issues, available to all without a paywall.
- Check the facts before we publish.
- Support valuable mentorship and hands-on experience for the next generation of journalists through our internship program.
- Power a platform for community voices.
- Strengthen our newsroom at a critical time for our region.
Here’s how you can make a HUGE difference today:
FIRST: Make a MATCHED donation by clicking here!
THEN: Spread the word. Text a friend. Forward this email. Post on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram using the hashtag #GiveBigPittsburgh. Oh, and tell someone in person — that works, too.
The Give Big Pittsburgh event — and our giveway — ends at midnight. Don’t miss your chance to be part of something BIG for Pittsburgh!
