PITTSBURGH (Newsradio 1020 KDKA) - Pittsburgh Yinzer Greetings, creator of Yinzer Cards and Yinzer Bars, has created a special chocolate candy bar to salute Pittsburgh's essential workers during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Proceeds from the sales of the "Thank You" Yinzer Bar will benefit Pittsburgh Emergency Medicine Foundation's Pandemic Grant Program.
The program provides supplies for healthcare workers and first responders.
Yinzer Bar was founded by Pittsburgh comedian Jim Krenn, KDKA Radio's Larry Richert and cartoonist Rogers to support local non-profits.
“The COVID-19 pandemic is heinous and exponentially bigger than anything we’ve ever experienced,” said Krenn. “A collective effort has been required to help all of us get through this crisis.
“That starts with supporting our frontline healthcare workers and our effort to create the ‘Thank You’ Yinzer Bar and donation of the sales proceeds is a small gesture of our gratitude for their hard work and dedication.”
