Saints & Sinners

-

#CircusAct: The Bob Prince Tent — the Pittsburgh chapter of the charitable Circus Saints & Sinners Club of America, which was started in the 1920s to help circus workers financiall­y — honored Tom Grealish as the 2018 Man of the Year during a dinner at the LeMont restaurant, Mount Washington, Monday night. Today the national organizati­on gives to many charities. Nearly 175 guests came out to pay tribute to Mr. Grealish, who is president of Henderson Brothers Insurance and the Mario Lemieux Foundation. The event, to benefit the Mario Lemieux Foundation, included attendance by its great namesake, who came late but did take photos with guests after dinner. Another charity that benefits from the Saints and Sinners is Brother’s Brother Foundation, which does humanitari­an work around the world. It had a few representa­tives at the event as well, including Brother’s Brother board chair Phillip Jones with Gail, and president Eric Luke as well as Sarah Boal. “The generosity of this organizati­on and the people is par for the course given this city’s capacity to give, and it never ceases to amaze me,” said Mr. Grealish. Among those applauding were Saints & Sinners president and event chair Bill Wolfe, vice president Eric Brandenber­g, emcee Larry Richert, KDKA-TV’s Bob Pompeani, WDVE radio’s Randy Baumann, Jay Caufield, Anthony DiNardo, Frank Seanez, John Pugliese and Eric Saks.
