WE#21 has been a tax-exempt organization since June 20, 2018, incorporated on December 31, 2017. Prior to then and since 2012, we were an informal group celebrating Roberto's birthday on or near August 18th at a Pittsburgh Pirate game (PNC Park) or at the Clemente Museum. Over the past five years, our group “pitched in” funds to treat youth players to game tickets, birthday cake and a Manny Meal. In 2018, WE#21 did so while also providing a WE#21 shirt (below) to the Braddock-Rankin-Swissvale youth baseball team and Hispanic youths from the Casa San Jose Latino Outreach Program, in the Beechview neighborhood of Pittsburgh.
Manny leads a happy birthday sing and we recognize the three attributes of being a Friend & Teammate (F&T) by reciting:
“We are Clemente, when we
are F&T like Roberto & Manny through Reliability, Loyalty &
Generosity.”
