Featured Speaker: Allegheny County Executive Sara Innamorato
Sara Innamorato was sworn in as the first woman to serve as the Allegheny County Executive on January 2, 2024. The Innamorato Administration’s guiding principle is to build a strong Allegheny County for All – one that serves all 1.3 million residents – built on a foundation of dignity and respect.


Taking place at the new Hazelwood Brewing Company, which houses both Abstract Realm and New France breweries, the “Building Trails, Building Bridges” fundraiser and networking event is both a celebration of the progress so far on the trail, and also a recognition of the fact that we don’t make trails happen alone.
Without our community partners and the support of many dedicated companies, organizations, and individuals across our region, we wouldn’t have a trail – let alone more than 35 miles and counting.
The “bridges” we build through that support are why the Three Rivers Heritage Trail and Water Trail exist.
This event will feature:
- Beer from Abstract Realm and New France Brewing and N/A options
- Heavy appetizers and selected bites with vegetarian and vegan options from Comfort and Spice
- A Bigger-than-ever Building Bridges Raffle
Award Winners
We will be presenting two awards at our event on October 21:
