Productive Pittsburgh's First Annual Luau & Pig Roast
An Evening of Community. Connection. Compassion.
Saturday, August 15, 2026
McFadden’s on the North Shore
Followed by the Pittsburgh Pirates vs. the Boston Red Sox at PNC Park
Join Productive Pittsburgh for an unforgettable summer evening where great food, meaningful connections, and community impact come together for one incredible cause. Our First Annual Luau & Pig Roast is more than just a fundraiser—it’s a celebration of what can happen when businesses, community leaders, nonprofits, and individuals unite around a shared mission: helping our neighbors move from crisis to stability. Enjoy an authentic pig roast, tropical-inspired food, and entertainment, while networking with Pittsburgh’s business and civic leaders. Then, continue the evening just steps away at beautiful PNC Park as the Pittsburgh Pirates take on the Boston Red Sox.
But the true purpose of this event extends far beyond the festivities.
Every Ticket. Every Sponsorship. Every Donation Changes a Life.
Proceeds from this event directly support Productive Pittsburgh’s Gold Card Program—a simple yet powerful tool that is transforming the way our community responds to homelessness.
Instead of handing someone cash and hoping it helps, the Gold Card provides something far more valuable: a direct connection to trusted nonprofit organizations that offer meals, shelter, counseling, addiction recovery services, mental health support, job readiness, and long-term pathways toward independence.
The Gold Card serves as the first step in a journey that can completely change someone’s future.
In just the past six months, Productive Pittsburgh has distributed more than 10,000 Gold Cards throughout our region. Every card represents an opportunity for hope, dignity, and a fresh start while connecting individuals with several local nonprofit partners working together across Western Pennsylvania.
Together, we are creating a coordinated response that ensures help is immediate, accessible, and connected to organizations equipped to provide lasting solutions.
Why Your Support Matters
Homelessness cannot be solved by any one organization. It takes businesses willing to invest. It takes community members willing to care. It takes nonprofits willing to collaborate. It takes people like you who believe that every individual deserves an opportunity to rebuild their life. When you sponsor this event, purchase a ticket, or make a donation, you are investing in a community-wide movement that is creating real pathways out of homelessness through partnership, accountability, and hope. Your generosity helps expand the reach of the Gold Card Program, strengthens our nonprofit partners, and ensures that more individuals receive the support they need when they need it most.
Become Part of the Movement
Whether you’re a local business looking to make a lasting impact, a community leader passionate about Pittsburgh, or someone who simply wants to help a neighbor in need, we invite you to join us.
Together we’ll celebrate, connect, and invest in a stronger Pittsburgh—one where compassion is matched with action, and every person has access to a pathway toward stability.
