Our celebrity jockeys and “horses” are in training for what has been traditionally ranked as one of Pittsburgh’s best parties. The mock horse racing event (think of the Kentucky Derby with a Steel City flair) features a roster of current and former Steelers and other Pittsburgh icons! You’ll also enjoy great food, music, a live auction, and the chance to bet on the celebrity race (last year’s winners split a pot of more than $100,000).

Indian Lake


The JR Memorial Cruise for a Cure at Indian Lake, Ohio raises funds to fight cancer in the name of the late Jerry Richardson. Jerry was a long-time resident of the Indian lake community and was taken far too soon in 2013 due to a malignant brain tumor. Since then a team of Indian Lake residents and volunteers have teamed with Lisa Cisco and Chris Quinn of the Buckeye Cruise for Cancer to try and help find a cure for this awful disease. This year’s JR Memorial marks a meaningful new chapter at Indian Lake. With a new, smaller lakeside venue, we’re creating a more personal experience—one designed to celebrate relationships, recognize generosity, and honor an incredible milestone: $3 million raised in the fight against cancer.
