A peek at this year's event
This year, in celebration of Pittsburgh 250, Dapper Dan will honor the Best Team, Best Athlete and Best Moment in Pittsburgh sports history. Will the Immaculate Reception beat out Maz's home run to win the 1960 World Series? Is Mario Lemieux the best or will the fans choose Roberto Clemente or Terry Bradshaw? The 76 Panthers were led by Heisman-winning Tony Dorsett, but can that team beat the 78 Steelers or 92 Penguins? Winners will be announced at the April 1 event.

Proceeds from all Dapper Dan Charities events fund the sports programs of Boys & Girls Clubs of Western Pennsylvania including flag football, basketball, field hockey, golf and wrestling.
