On October 20, 2017, Rock Steelers Style 2017 was in full swing at Stage AE! The best way for me to describe it is New York Fashion Week meets Black and Gold. Think of all of your favorite Steelers players hitting the runway (and in some scenes with their families) for a fashion show while throwing Terrible Towels and other goodies out to audience members. Plus other performers (such as the Pittsburgh Ballet Theater), Arthur Moats and Marcus Tucker playing a piano duet and special judges Santonio Holmes and Jerome Bettis! I was in charge of getting guests in attendance signed up for the silent auction that was held before and during the fashion show that benefited the UPMC Sports Medicine Concussion Program and Cancer Caring Center. Since everything was online and we were given iPads, the process was simple and fast for each guest. With minimal information needed, most guests seemed happy that it did not take very long to sign up and they were able to proceed into the cocktail area with plenty of time before the show. Because my main job was the silent auction, I was actually able to sneak in and watch some of the show! And let me tell you, those guys know how to put on a show whether it be on the field or the runway! Fans love them in both settings! Right before the show ended, winners of the silent auction items were sent a message via text to confirm their prize. My director, her assistant and myself then spent a half hour after the show giving the prizes to the respected winners. Everything from a Super Bowl trip to a restaurant gift card basket were won. Although some parts of the night were a little stressful, all in all it was a great, fun night for two great causes!
