 2020 TALENT HUNT
The Foundation is proud to have supported the Iota Phi Chapter's annual high school Talent Hunt. This event provided exposure, encouragement, and financial award to talented Pittsburgh area young people participating in the visual and performing arts. The specific categories were dance, drama, vocal, musical instrumentation, and the visual arts. Past participants have gone on to perform or showcase at the Apollo Theater, Radio City Music Hall, and other notable venues across the country.

This event is held annually during the month of February.
