The Clemente Museum at Engine House 25

Roberto Clemente's passion for helping underpriviledged youth was as legendary as his arm. He excelled as a right fielder with the Pittsburgh Pirates earning him the nickname "The Great One", and he used his professional connections to bring relief to disadvantaged children all over the world. Although his life was cut tragically short, his accomplishments were so great that he was awarded the Congressional Gold Medal in 1973 for outstanding athletic, civic, charitable and humanitarian contributions. Pittsburgh Gateways is proud to announce our partnership with the owner of Engine House 25 in developing a unique fundraising initiative to preserve the Clemente Museum which is located there as well as to continue Roberto's desire to help inner-city youth achieve their dreams.

We have taken the first major step toward that objective... it is back in the hands of seven investors with that goal in mind." -- Jessica Lee
