Last Friday, Nov. 16, approximately 125 community and business leaders turned out for the Bloomfield-Garfield Corporation’s annual board fundraiser. This year’s event, a luncheon at the Pittsburgh Athletic Association (PAA) in Oakland, was called “Solving the Puzzle” and honored The Bank of New York Mellon for its 10-year financial commitment to creating economic, physical, and social change in Pittsburgh’s East End. The BGC also paid tribute to Jerry Dettore, former executive director of Pittsburgh’s Urban Redevelopment Authority, for his 38 years of public service. The event was made possible by generous donations from The Bank of New York Mellon, PNC Bank, National City Bank, Allegheny Valley Bank, UPMC, and the Urban Redevelopment Authority.
