Our Founder Sidney Kushner was named one of Pittsburgh's 30 under 30!
******************
Heroes Among Us
On January 9th, 2013, our founder Sidney was honored as a "Hero Among Us" by the Boston Celtics.
Every home game, the Boston Celtics honor an individual "who has made an overwhelming impact on the lives of others." When Sidney found out he was going to be honored, he immediately asked if he could bring a young kid with cancer onto the court with him. They of course said yes, and so Sidney & KJ, 10, marched right onto center court to accept the award in front of a standing ovation of 18,000 fans. KJ, a die-hard Celtics fan, had never been to a Celtics game before. And on this day, he was right on center court next to his ultimate heroes.
It was one of the most inspiring moments in our entire lives.
It was one of the most inspiring moments in our entire lives.
