Help Weston raise money

For participating in 2025 DICK'S Sporting Goods Pittsburgh Marathon Weekend

My Story…

This year, I’m proud to participate in the Pittsburgh Marathon weekend, running the 5K for a cause—supporting YouthPlaces and the incredible teens we serve. I’m raising funds to sponsor a student for our free, enrichment-packed YP Ignite Summer Program

YP Ignite was designed to keep youth from under-resourced communities involved in positive experiences during the summer months.  Our program is filled with physical activity, culinary experiences, artistic expression, technology exploration, weekly field trips, and a 3-day camping trip—all completely free of charge

It’s more than just summer fun; it’s a chance for teens to build confidence, make lasting memories, and develop essential life skills in a safe and empowering environment. All proceeds from my run go directly toward covering the full cost for one student to attend. 

Join me in making a difference—your support helps ensure every teen has access to opportunities that inspire growth, creativity, and joy. Let’s make this summer unforgettable for them!

Donate to help Weston raise money for 2025 DICK'S Sporting Goods Pittsburgh Marathon Weekend’s fundraising campaign.
