Pirates Charities, Pittsburgh police team up during Citiparks' Grab-and-Go event
Pittsburgh Pirates bench coach Don Kelly and Pittsburgh police Chief Scott Schubert didn’t just distribute lunches to children at Paulson Recreation Center.
They also handed out baseball cards.
Pirates Charities and the Pittsburgh Bureau of Police Officers teamed with the Topps Company to launch a program earlier this month that features Pirates players and Pittsburgh Police officers on six trading cards, designed to encourage positive behavior.
The cards were distributed during Citiparks’ Grab-and-Go program, which provides free lunches to children from Pittsburgh Public Schools at four locations during the week. Free masks also were available through the Pittsburgh Police “Need a Mask, Take a Mask” program.
