Get ready for an unforgettable evening at the 2025 Jerome Bettis Caring for Kids Gala: Chalk Talk Edition, taking place on Friday, November 14, 2025, at Acrisure Stadium—just one night before the much-anticipated Pitt vs. Notre Dame football showdown.
This special edition of our annual gala brings together legendary athletes from Pitt and Notre Dame for a unique “chalk talk” experience—where stories, strategy, and sports meet heart and purpose. Guests will enjoy engaging conversation, delicious food, and inspiring moments—all in support of a meaningful cause.
Hosted by The Jerome Bettis Bus Stops Here Foundation, this evening raises essential funds to benefit underserved youth through financial assistance, educational opportunities, and life-changing mentorship. For nearly 30 years, the Foundation has been dedicated to empowering inner-city children and helping them build a better future.
