Mission
The mission of Bring Back CFCP is to jump-start a grassroots movement that highlights the tragedy of losing a community asset like CFCP. Our goal is to send a wake-up call to the Pittsburgh philanthropic community, our legislators, and the community at-large. We cannot stand idly by and allow valuable community resources to fall to the wayside unchallenged.

Reality
While we realize there is a cost to having such service like CFCP, we are also keenly aware of the larger cost in losing such a needed asset.

Challenge
Do we accept another abandoned building blighting our landscape or do we stand together and save a valuable family-oriented community resource?

 

Needed:  Volunteer Public Relations Coordinator
