Donations sustain cultural offerings in Pittsburgh region

Pittsburgh Tribune-Review: Bob Jennings and his wife Barbara Bott moved from Hampton to Foxburg in Armstrong County two years ago, but they visit Pittsburgh's Downtown once or twice a week. The draw: the city's cultural and recreational attractions. They bike along the rivers, dine at restaurants, go to the ballet, opera, theater or Carnegie museums and then spend a night at a hotel. hey recognize that many of these amenities — the theaters, the cultural groups that perform there, and even the development of riverfront trails — are gifts, in part, of the region's foundations.
