We are raising funds for Friends of Albright to use for the annual Thanksgiving Eve dinner.

A Pittsburgh Thanksgiving Eve Tradition

For the past 50 years, the Albright congregation has hosted a FREE Community Thanksgiving Eve Dinner. The dinner was started as a Boy Scout project and has continued each year since. The annual Albright Thanksgiving Eve dinner is more than just making sure everyone has some turkey and stuffing to eat … it is an opportunity to bring together neighbors from all over the city to celebrate traditions and support the community.

CHEERS TO 50 YEARS!

In this our 50th year, we mark the start of our year-long 50 for 50 campaign. Over the next year, we have the goal of raising $50,000 to create a fund to ensure that the dinner and the warmth it brings to the holiday lives on for another 50 years.

Hello! We are Suspension Theatrical Arts, a recently formed production company based out of Millvale PA. We introduced ourselves last summer with our first event, “A Catastrophic Cabaret”. Since then, We have been granted fiscal sponsorship by New Sun Rising, and are well on our way to a successful and exciting first season of production. We are raising funds for “Full Day Suspension, a 24 hour theater festival”. Over the course of 24 hours, a team of playwrights, actors, and directors will create, rehearse and perform up to 10 new short plays. This production will be our first as a fiscally sponsored project. We hope to use it to raise funds and build our community, but in order to do so, we need your help.

We are raising funds for Friends of Albright to use for the annual Thanksgiving-Eve dinner and to support the efforts to save the Albright Church Building.

The annual Thanksgiving Eve Dinner will take place on Wednesday, November 24, 2021.

For the past 47 years, the Albright congregation and neighbors have prepared a free Thanksgiving Eve meal for the community.

Volunteers:

Thank you to everyone over the years who have helped make this dinner a success! For the health and safety of everyone, we are still working on if/how to have volunteers help. Instead, we ask that you please consider making a small donation to help support the efforts around this annual tradition. We thank you for your interest, long time support and we look forward to seeing you in person next year.
