19 KIDS (Kids’ Initiative for Dynamic Success) Fund

Established in recognition of our long-time Library board member, the Frank J. Lucchino KIDS (Kids’ Initiative for Dynamic Success) Fund supports innovative ideas and pilot projects that help prepare Pittsburgh’s youngest children for school and life success.

A celebration recognizing Judge Lucchino’s passion for learning, his belief that education is the best antidote to the cycle of poverty and his transformative leadership on behalf of library services in Allegheny County was held on May 2. Thanks to generous friends and family, the event raised more than $264,000 for the endowed fund.
