The Ryan Shazier Foundation's signature fundraising event takes place on May 2, 2025, at Acrisure Stadium. Celebrity jockeys and “horses” are in training for what has been traditionally ranked as one of Pittsburgh’s best parties. The mock horse racing event (think of the Kentucky Derby with a Steel City flair) features a roster of current and former Steelers and other Pittsburgh icons! You’ll also enjoy great food, music, a live auction, and the chance to bet on the celebrity race (last year’s winners split a pot of more than $100,000).
