Ti Kanaval

Last night was the third annual Ti Kanaval fundraiser here in Pittsburgh! Thanks to Claire (@pghrugbyangel), I got to go to the event and help promote Pittsburgh Marshmallows (@pghmarshmallows)! This year's fundraiser was to benefit Jamie and Ali's orphanage in Haiti. Here's some snapshots of the event:

Look at these amazing desserts! They were all donated by either local Pittsburgh companies or by good hearted burghers themselves.

Jamie and Ali brought back many strands of Haitian beads, and we sold them for $5 a strand as part of the fundraiser. They were a big hit!

Socializing with fellow Twitterers! Somehow we ALL end up at the same event. Who says social media alienates people? Heck no! In Pittsburgh, it's the other way around!

Here is the view of downtown Pittsburgh from the patio of Whim. It was a gorgeous evening, to be sure.

Four bottles of Haitian Rhum were put up for a silent auction. There were SO many generous donations from people for the silent auction, but I think this was my favorite.

Me with the lovely Claire! Thank you, lady, for being my date to the fundraiser!

Look at these lovely twitter ladies! Me (@heytherescout), Lauren (@lilholtz56), Genevieve (@GenD80), Laura (@secretagentl), Kylie (@KylieD87), and Hollie (@PDPHollie)!

There were, of course, so many more of us tweeps in attendance as well. It was phenomenal, and hopefully will help out the orphanage very much! Some of the best tweetups are the incidental ones. :-)
