TASTEBUDS JR.: A DELICIOUS EXPERIENCE!
The Baldwin-Whitehall Educational Foundation’ s annual event, Tastebuds Jr., was a resounding success, raising approximately $ 4,500 for Best Buddies Pittsburgh and the Best Buddies clubs at Baldwin High School and J. E. Harrison Middle School. A sold-out crowd of 150 guests filled the R. A. Lutz Elementary School cafeteria for an unforgettable evening of food and fun. The event truly showcased the Baldwin-Whitehall community’ s incredible spirit of collaboration and support!
