Committee Plans for Fun at Pressley Ridge Ice Cream Sunday Kick-off
PITTSBURGH—The event committee for the 2005 Pressley Ridge Ice Cream Sunday will scoop up some fun at a kick-off party on Wednesday, March 30, 6:30 to 8 p.m. at the Pittsburgh Golf Club, 5280 Northumberland Street, Schenley Park.
The committee has chosen an All-Star sports theme for the 2005 Pressley Ridge Ice Cream Sunday, which will be on Sunday, August 21, 2005. Active and retired athletes from local college and pro teams will take part in this worthy fund-raising effort on the grounds of Pressley Ridge’s North Side Pittsburgh campus.
Proceeds from Ice Cream Sunday support the Opportunity Fund which makes donations to bring families together, help them through emergency situations, or make a troubled child’s life a little happier. These donations from community members also provide essential non-reimbursed medical services and small scholarships for Pressley Ridge kids.
Committee Gets Busy
Keeping their cool at the kickoff will be 2005 board co-chairs, Jay Knowles and Jen McCrady. Jay Knowles is active with a number of Pittsburgh business organizations and is executive Vice President in the Pittsburgh office of DHR International, a leading retained executive search firm and Jen lives in Fox Chapel with her husband Chris (Jay’s cousin) and their two children. A former Michigan State field hockey player, Jen currently coaches field hockey and lacrosse at St. Edmunds Academy.
