Pirates ace pitcher Paul Skenes hold firefighters in high regard, especially volunteers.
During The Fan 5-Alarm Fire Thursday afternoon, Skenes donated $1,000 to the cause, along with three autographed baseballs that will be auctioned off.
If you want a chance to win one, all you have to do is donate $50 or more between 3 and 4 p.m. today (Thursday, June 5) to be entered in a drawing for the ball.
Text FIRE to 412-207-3456 to donate or you can donate online HERE.
STAY TUNED to The Fan through the day to learn how to win one of the other two.
“These firefighters and other fire responders are doing everything they can and putting their lives on the line and their well-being, their families, everything for our community,” Skenes tells The Fan.
He adds it’s a “personal and direct” sacrifice they make and need to be supported.
