Partners in the Pandemic Campaign

Unfortunately, due to the pandemic, Variety must postpone its 2020 Gala – our most important fundraising event of the year. It provides us with critical funds where we need them the most (raising upwards of $250,000).

As a result, we are launching our Partners in the Pandemic Campaign for Kids with Disabilities to ensure that our work and impact does not falter or slow down, and to raise funds where we need them most.

A  Rare  Ask  For  Support

With our goal of raising $250,000 by December 31st, any donation will make a difference, so we humbly ask, will you be our Partner in the Pandemic?

  • You can make a donation online now by clicking here (and designate your donation to Partners in the Pandemic), or you can mail your gift by check (see attachment).
  • Every donor will be recognized here on our website.
  • In addition, we will recognize larger donations in a variety of ways (see attachment). Could you approach your employer to make a donation or get us connected?

We are hopeful that you’ll consider becoming our Partner in the Pandemic, and give to where we need it most to keep our programs rolling.

Your donation will help us, help even more kids, and it will ensure that Variety’s work and mission never fades or ceases to exist.

If you want to talk further, Variety’s CEO, Charlie LaVallee would be delighted to setup a time to talk by phone or Zoom to provide even more updates on our life-changing work for kids with disabilities. Just send him an email at charlie@varietypittsburgh.org.
