BUY LOCAL message as well as the nation's most popular pastime: football!  Look for our venue to be decorated for football-type fun, honoring our keynote speaker, former Steelers Quarterback Charlie Batch!

In addition to his championship-winning career with the black and gold, Mr. Batch now supports his own Best of the Batch Foundation in Pittsburgh, providing educational and leadership opportunities to the next generation.

From his childhood in inner-city Pittsburgh, to a stand-out football career in high school, college and the NFL, Charlie Batch has learned many valuable lessons of leadership and community involvement.  He has spoken openly about the tragic loss of his sister, and other challenges he has overcome on his way to success.

We look forward to an inspiring message from this Pittsburgh who has spoken nationally to business audiences.
