I started my linked in group to

• Establish myself as a leader in Pittsburgh event information and where to go
CheersPittsburgh.Com
One of the many reasons I started CheersPittsburgh.com is to give businesses and individuals a free resource. Businesses are able to list their establishments and events at no cost on our online directory. CheersPittsburgh.com is “Pittsburgh’s where to go and what to do website!”
