The Pittsburgh Penguins, the Penguins Foundation, and U. S.
Steel announced an official multi-year partnership today, focusing
on the betterment and growth of our communities.
The Penguins and U. S. Steel are joining forces as pillars in
the Pittsburgh Community to invest in literacy and provide access
to sports.
“The Penguins remain committed to the advancement of our
surrounding communities, and together with U. S. Steel, we look
forward to continuing to make a difference,” said Penguins
president and CEO David Morehouse. “We feel that literacy should be
accessible to all and that every kid should receive equal
opportunities. We believe it is our responsibility to help forge
Pittsburgh’s next generation and are happy to do it together.”
The Reading Challenge, which is scheduled to launch its pilot
plan in the Fall of 2021, will introduce an incentive-based reading
program for students in the Mon Valley. Students will be rewarded
with prizes and promotions, courtesy of the Penguins and U. S.
Steel.
U. S. Steel will also be the presenting partner of “Try Hockey
for Free Day.” The program will be held quarterly at rinks across
Western Pennsylvania. The program focuses on eliminating the
financial barrier that may prevent kids from trying hockey.
“This partnership with the remarkable Pittsburgh Penguins
organization recognizes the importance of the communities where we
live and work,” U. S. Steel President and Chief Executive Officer
David B. Burritt said. “We want a sustainable, bright future for
families in the Mon Valley and greater Pittsburgh. Teaming with the
Penguins and our employee volunteers, we can help instill the value
of reading. This community initiative is part of U. S. Steel’s
growing dedication to sustainability.”
