Since 1925, the Catholic Youth Association of Pittsburgh has been dedicated to helping the community’s most vulnerable members – children and the elderly. Being there for those who need it most was something Art Rooney Sr. believed in, and it has been said often that his favorite charity was the Catholic Youth Association.

To stabilize the Catholic Youth Association's fragile finances, Mr. Rooney began a tradition in 1974 to stabilize the CYA’s fragile finances, and the Art Rooney Award Dinner – an event that has been continued by his son, Dan Rooney, and grandson Art Rooney II – celebrated its 38th year on Thursday, April 7 at the Westin Convention Center.
