About The Annual Dinner

Our 122nd Annual Dinner will take place on March 5, 2026.

Our Key Note Speaker – Jimmy Krenn and Larry Richert

Jimmy Krenn rose from the ranks of stand-up comedians to become a popular personality and well-known host of Pittsburgh’s top-rated morning show on WDVE. A media darling in his hometown, Jimmy has been voted by numerous media outlets as one of the most recognizable personalities in the tri-state area and honored with a nomination by BILLBOARD Magazine as one of the Major Market Personalities of the Year. And as a one of the city’s favorite “yinzers”, Jimmy teamed up with Larry Richert and cartoonist Rob Rogers to create Yinzer Cards, a fun and humorous way to celebrate the city they love with Pittsburgh greetings you can send to friends and family. Jimmy has performed with the likes of Jay Leno, Howie Mandel, Dennis Miller, Jerry Seinfeld, Tim Allen and many other celebrities with an act featuring a variety of impressions, characters and anecdotes, including his signature take on local Pittsburgh personalities. http://www.talentnetworkinc.com/artists/jim-krenn/

Larry Richert has been a constant in Pittsburgh radio and television since the early 80s and has long been an ambassador for the city, winning the Vector’s Richard Caliguiri Award for that exact reason. Larry has been in broadcasting for more than 30 years and currently hosts The KDKA Morning News. He is the voice of NFL Films/Steelers Highlights and is the Public Address announcer at Heinz Field for the Steelers and part of the Pitt Panthers Football Network Broadcast Team, hosting the pre-game show and reporting from the sidelines. Larry is involved many charity organizations and is the Vice-President of the Pittsburgh Celebrity Hockey Team, the Honorary Chairperson for the American Cancer Society Annual Golf Classic, and spokesman for the McGuire Memorial Home, the JDRF event, the Autism Speaks Annual Walk and many others.
