Celebrating 15 Years of Connecting Champions! Night of Inspiration 2026
About this Event
Night of Inspiration: 15 Years of Champions
We're having a ball — and we want you to have one too.
Join us on Saturday, October 3, 2026 at Rockwell Park in Pittsburgh's East End for our official 15th birthday party! Together, we'll honor 15 years of supporting the bravery of kids and young adults affected by cancer — and we're making history while we do it.
Together We Are Champions — WORLD RECORD ATTEMPT
This year, we're attempting a world record live at the event — and every single person in the room is part of it. With 1,500 hand-painted baseballs created by a local Pittsburgh artist, our attendees will assemble a one-of-a-kind mural together, ball by ball, right before your eyes.
This is a symbol of everything Connecting Champions has always believed: that no one faces cancer alone, and that something beautiful happens when a community comes together around a child or young adult who needs them. One ball doesn't make a mural. One mentor, one champion, one supporter doesn't change the world on their own. But 1,500 of us? Together, we are champions.
Inspiration Awards Ceremony
Our signature ceremony takes center stage as we celebrate the transformative journeys of our champions and the 15-year impact of their mentor relationships — stories of resilience, determination, and triumph that have defined our mission for a decade and a half.
Food, drinks, and great company
Enjoy our open bar featuring delicious wines and beers alongside a selection of delectable small bites. Mingle with fellow supporters and champions, savoring the connections that have made our work possible for 15 years. Plus, enjoy a sweet treat courtesy of Millie's Ice Cream!
Don't miss this unforgettable anniversary experience. Secure your place now to be part of something truly historic. Together, let's make this Night of Inspiration: 15 Years of Champions a night to remember.
Dress Code:
You decide! Dress up in your finest cocktail attire or dress out in your favorite team's colors — or get creative and combine both. Ball gown and a jersey? Black tie and cleats? We're having a ball, and however you show up is exactly right.
