About this Event

Bravo! Brashear 2026

Bravo! Brashear is an annual meeting and luncheon held at the LeMont Restaurant overlooking Mt. Washington, one of the twelve neighborhoods served by The Brashear Association, Inc. We invite everyone to celebrate the work that Brashear has done with the help of program and funding partners, serving the community. We recognize key partners and individuals for their outstanding service and commitment to Brashear.

The proceeds from Bravo! Brashear benefit the Holiday Assistance Program.​ Through this program, Brashear distributes grocery store gift cards for Thanksgiving, with toys for Christmas to more than 500 families in South Pittsburgh. You make this happen whether you are in the room or make a donation! Thank you for your support.
