The Kids Triathlon started out as a fundraiser for Habitat for Humanity of Greater Pittsburgh
but has become so much more than that over the past 13 years. While it remains Habitat’s
major fundraising effort to raise money to build houses for people in need of affordable, decent
housing, it also gives kids a fun and energy-burning activity in the summertime! Athletes
of all abilities are encouraged to participate. To register as an athlete or volunteer, or to view
sponsorship opportunities, visit the website.

A Star Party is an invitation to anyone wishing to enjoy and learn more about the splendors
of the sky. Amateur Astronomers Association of Pittsburgh members set up a wide variety
of telescopes (basic and advanced models) and offer visitors stunning close-ups of celestial
objects. Many visitors also bring their own telescopes to take advantage of viewing conditions
at the site. Others use the occasion simply to view the stars and planets with their own eyes.
There are more 2016 Star Party dates available. Visit the website for more information.
