This year’s honorees have committed to professional growth through a guided fundraising and awareness campaign which includes networking, socializing at events, fundraising and connecting with our local CF Community. Their campaign will culminate with the Pittsburgh’s 50 Finest Finale Celebration, on Friday, September 26, 2025 at the Wyndham Grand Downtown.
