Auberle's
Third Annual Voices Carry, presented by Huntington Bank, continued
as one of Pittsburgh's premier events. This year's Voices Carry
was held on Tuesday evening, September 18, 2007 in the East Hall
at Heinz Field.
Voices Carry can only
be described as a night
of great singing, good food, and a whole lot of fun. Attendees could bid to sing with or be sung
to by their favorite celebrity singer ‚ and there were more than
a few in attendance this year.

This
yearís list of celebrity singers read like a list of ìwhoís whoî
in Pittsburgh. Leading the way -- Pittsburgh rock icon Donnie
Iris, joined by other prominent, talented musicians including, Tony
Janflone, Jr., Joe Grushecky, Jessica Lee, Sandy Dowe, The Clarks,
Etta Cox, Karen Jeffreys, Antionette Manganas, and B.E. Taylor.
Along with emcee Randy Baumann of WDVE, other celebrities
also committed to supporting Auberle by singing ans supporting Auberle
at Voices Carry, including Jim Krenn from WDVE, Sally Wiggin and
Mike Clark, Jon Burton, and Janelle Hall of WTAE-TV, and Trenni
Kusnierek of Fox Sports. Sally
and Trenni both gave moving testimonials about their experiences
working with Auberle and the mission. All of the singers gathered
on stage at the end of the night and sang as a group, which brought
the crowd to their feet.

Auctions
continued throughout the night for those who wished to take a chance
of walking away with one of several fabulous prizes, including a
Pittsburgh Night Out, Emerilware Stainless 10-Piece Cookware Set
, Wine and Dine Gift Basket and a Family Portrait Package. This
year, attendees purchased grab bags for $50, which gave them a chance
at the grand prize of jewelry from Casa D'Oro.
The
night was fun, to be sure, but Voices Carry is more about introducing
the attendees to the work and mission of Auberle: helping children
and families to heal themselves. Auberleís goal is to present a
compelling story, ultimately resulting in an increase in community
involvement with the organization. This was perhaps this yearís
biggest achievement, with 134 new people being introduced to Auberle
and our work with children and families.
Overall,
the Third Annual Voices Carry had over 500 total people in attendance.
Voices Carry also raised approximately $96, 000.
We are looking forward to making next yearís event even more
fun.
