COMMUNITY MAKES
‘CELEBRATE THE SOUTH
HILLS WITH SHIM’ HUGE
SUCCESS
On Wednesday, May 17, 370 community
members gathered for South Hills Interfaith
Movement’s (SHIM) annual Celebrate the
South Hills with SHIM event. The event
served as a celebration of community,
philanthropy and volunteerism. SHIM was
proud to honor Suzy and Jim Broadhurst
of Eat’n Park Hospitality Group as this
year’s South Hills Champions. The
evening included dinner, a reception, a
presentation from SHIM, and bidding
opportunities to benefit the organization’s
beneficiaries and work in the South Hills.
The South Hills nonprofit organization
raised an event record-breaking $145,688
to help benefit community members in
need.
New to this year’s event, fifteen
remarkable teenagers shared their
stories of culture and identity in a
powerful exhibit: ‘Two Cultures, One
Me.’ The project, funded by The Sprout
Fund’s 100 Days of US project, serves
to bring a voice to local refugee teens
involved with SHIM’s Youth Mentoring
Program who worked with professional
journalist, Stephanie Hacke to craft their
stories and took photos with Pittsburgh
photographer, Terry Clark. The teens were
in attendance at the event and shared their
stories with guests during the reception.
SHIM would like to thank everyone
who attended and contributed to the
event, and the Broadhursts for their work
to benefit the community.
Jim Guffey, executive director, SHIM; Jim Broadhurst, Chairman, Eat’n Park Hospitality Group;
Suzy Broadhurst, Eat’n Park Hospitality Group; and John Schrott, President, IKM, Inc. joined
together at SHIM’s annual Celebrate the South Hills with SHIM event, where the Broadhursts
were honored as South Hills Champions.
Cris Winter of WISH 99.7 was the Master of Ceremonies at Celebrate the South Hills with SHIM. She
chatted with Tulasha of SHIM’s Youth Mentoring Program about the Two Cultures, One Me project.
