On Friday, December 6, the Pittsburgh Chapter of the Carson Scholars Fund hosted a holiday celebration at the Pittsburgh Field Club to benefit the Carson Scholars Fund. The evening opened with an elegant cocktail hour during which guests were entertained by musicians Regina Givi and Dan Hanczar, and pool trick shot artist, Tim Chin.  Guests had the opportunity to bid on silent auction items including gift baskets, jewelry and art which raised funds to support Pittsburgh scholarships.

Committee member Rich Krauland and Pittsburgh Chapter President Fran Donahue welcomed guests and introduced CSF Co-Founder Candy Carson, who spoke on the mission of the Fund.

Father Thomas Miller delivered the invocation before everyone enjoyed a wonderful dinner. After dinner, guests listened intently to Dr. Ben Carson, who shared his life’s lessons as well as the importance of developing and supporting bright and compassionate young leaders.

Congratulations to the Pittsburgh Chapter on their continued success. Thank you to all who attended and generously supported this special evening to benefit future Carson Scholars.
