Pribanic & Pribanic, a Pittsburgh law firm, is sponsoring two community events this month in the White Oak and Mon Valley area: the Fido Food Truck Fest on Sept. 12 in White Oak and the Yough n Roll Bike Ride and Party on the Trail on Sept. 19 in Elizabeth Township. The sponsorships underscore the firm's ongoing investment in the communities it serves, supporting causes that range from animal welfare to outdoor recreation.
The Fido Food Truck Fest is the fifth annual fundraiser for White Oak Animal Safe Haven, a no-kill animal shelter founded in 2003. The event runs from 2 to 6 p.m. at White Oak Volunteer Fire Department No. 1 and will include food trucks, basket raffles, a 50/50 raffle and mystery boxes. Last year's event raised about $10,000 to help fund the shelter's medical care, training, grooming and adoption programs. By sponsoring this event, Pribanic & Pribanic helps ensure that the shelter can continue its mission of rescuing and caring for animals in need. The funds raised directly impact the shelter's ability to provide essential services, from veterinary care to adoption efforts, making a tangible difference in the lives of countless animals.
The Yough n Roll Bike Ride and Party on the Trail is organized by the Mon/Yough Trail Council, an all-volunteer 501(c)(3) organization with more than 500 members that maintains 15 miles of the Great Allegheny Passage. The 32nd annual event starts at Boston Riverfront Park and Rhino Memorial Field and offers 20- and 40-mile bike routes along the Youghiogheny River, along with a shorter Family Fun Ride for families. A community party follows the ride with music, local artists, historians, food, giveaways, children's games and representatives from area public safety agencies. Last year the trail hosted visitors from 48 states and 20 countries, and volunteers logged more than 5,000 hours maintaining the trail. Tim Banfield is the Mon/Yough Trail Council's contact for the event. More information is available at thebostontrail.com. Pribanic & Pribanic's sponsorship of this event supports the council's efforts to maintain and promote one of the region's most valuable recreational resources, which attracts visitors from around the world and enhances local quality of life.
These sponsorships reflect Pribanic & Pribanic's broader commitment to the White Oak and Mon Valley community. By supporting both animal welfare and outdoor recreation, the firm addresses diverse community needs. The Fido Food Truck Fest provides critical funding for a local animal shelter, while the Yough n Roll event fosters community engagement and healthy outdoor activity. Such sponsorships are vital for the sustainability of these grassroots organizations, which rely on volunteers and donations to operate. The law firm's involvement not only provides financial support but also raises awareness of these causes, encouraging broader participation and ensuring that these valued community traditions continue for years to come.
