February 2023

We hope you'll join us for our 11th Annual Lending Hearts Gala presented by UPMC Hillman Cancer Center! This year's event is made possible, in part, by the generous support of Highmark Blue Cross Blue Shield & Allegheny Health Network.

Lending Hearts is thrilled to share our 2023 Lending Hearts Gala honoree will be Pittsburgh Steeler, Mr. Cameron Heyward. As this year’s Walter Payton Man of the Year nominee for the Steelers, Mr. Heyward truly personifies what it means to lend his heart to others.

Sponsorship opportunities and tickets can be purchased HERE.

NEW YOU FOR A NEW YEAR

A DISCUSSION ABOUT ONCOLOGY REHAB AND NUTRITION

We are so thankful to Allegheny Health Network Manager of Outpatient Therapy Services, Nicole Reilley Dosey, and Clinical Dietitian at Allegheny Health Network's Cancer Institute, Amanda Capor, for leading a discussion on oncology rehabilitation and nutrition. And thank you to award-winning author, David Richman for leading another Expressive Writing Class with Lending Hearts. These programs have been extremely informative and therapeutic. Because our classes are recorded, they can always be viewed on-demand through our website blog and Lending Hearts YouTube Channel. Feel free to watch Nicole and Amanda’s class by clicking the video below.

JANUARY RECAP

Many thanks to everyone who joined us in January for our private viewing of Puss in Boots: The Last Wish! And thank you to our special friend, The Pirate Parrot, for surprising everyone in the Cinemark lobby!

One of our friends celebrated their 11th birthday with us and two of our friends had their first experience seeing a movie in a theater. It was definitely a special and fun afternoon!
