Animal Naming Contests, Loan Forgiveness & Bonus Marathon Money
from City Cast Pittsburgh · host City Cast
The Pittsburgh Marathon may be over, but street closures for 2024 foot races are just getting started. If you were an Art Institute of Pittsburgh student, you might qualify for student loan forgiveness. And City Cast producer Sophia Lo has the latest on local baby animal names, plus one unfortunate penguin eulogy. We always cite our sources: Check out all the winners from the 2024 Pittsburgh Marathon weekend of events here. Former students at The Art Institutes will be eligible for a little over $6 billion in debt forgiveness. About 2,000 students were taking in-person and online classes at the Art Institute of Pittsburgh when it closed in 2019. A “lucky” baby eagle nesting at U.S. Steel’s Irvin plant was recently named by committee, with every vote worth a donation to the Tamarack Wildlife Center. Thanks to the U.S. Steel bald eagle cam, you can check on the nest 24/7. The National Aviary’s first ever African penguin recently died. And the Punxsutawney Groundhog Club is looking for names for Phil and Phyllis’ two groundhog pups. You have until Thursday to weigh in. Learn more about our sponsor! It’s almost time for the 25th Mattress Factory Garden Party. It’s an epic annual fundraiser and costume party, and the theme this year is MAKE/BELIEVE.
