A Baseball-Themed Benefit for Community Impact

Teke’s Rotary Relief is the Rotary Club of Pittsburgh’s midsummer, baseball-inspired fundraiser powered by our partnership with Kent Tekulve—the legendary World-Series closer and Pittsburgh sports icon. Rotarians, business leaders, and die-hard fans come together for an evening of great food, craft beverages, and casual networking, all wrapped in black-and-gold spirit.
