In The Pocket w/ Charlie Batch 2025

The 3:00PM-6:00PM time slot is the game-winning window where out-of-school time (OST) programs make all the difference. Just like a solid game plan leads to a win on the field, safe, inclusive, and high-quality out-of-school time programs help kids build academic momentum, strengthen their social-emotional game, form positive habits, and keep them away from risky moves—setting them up for a championship future for themselves and their families.

While the crowd may cheer on game day, it's the everyday plays that make a difference. At Best of the Batch, we’re proud to serve over 4,000 local youth ages 4–18 every year. Let’s huddle up and make a change that lasts for generations.

So throw on your best “Black and Gold Stadium Gear” and join us for the Biggest Tailgate Pittsburgh has ever seen at our Annual In the Pocket w/ Charlie Batch fundraiser on November 13th! We’re bringing the ultimate pregame vibes—music, food, drinks, and throwing in some friendly competition as you go head-to-head with current and former Steelers and local celebrities in ping pong, pool, poker, cornhole, and more!

Plus, our auction lineup is stacked—so you can walk away with more than just great memories.

Let’s kick off a celebration of 26 years of teamwork, impact, and community—while rallying support for our STEAM and out-of-school time programs.
