An Evening of Happy Cruising

The 2005 “Every Child Is Note Worthy” Jazz Benefit was a smash hit! Over four hundred revelers, our biggest crowd ever, turned out at Heinz Field on Friday, September 23rd for a night of fun on the high seas. After the S.S. Every Child Is Note Worthy departed port, guests were entertained by the elegant sounds of jazz great Vanessa Rubin while they feasted on numerous island delicacies, including Jamaican Jerk Chicken and Key Lime Cheesecake.

Guests were welcomed aboard by “Captain” Ben Roethlisberger, Steelers Quarterback; “Cruise Director” Susan Davis, Executive Director of Every Child; and “First Mate” Honorary Chairperson, Aaron Walton of Highmark Blue Cross Blue Shield, the evening’s lead sponsor. This year’s event was extremely successful. The funds raised were designated to our Family Ever After Fund” to benefit numerous children and families.
