The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Pittsburgh District partnered with the Pittsburgh Pirates, the Pennsylvania Fish & Boat Commission and the U.S. Coast Guard to record a baseball-themed water safety message to promote the proper wear of life jackets.
The water safety promotional video will play on PNC Park’s scoreboard during games throughout May. The Pittsburgh District is partnering with the Pittsburgh Pirates to host a water safety night at PNC Park, May 11, 2024. Before the game, members from the Pittsburgh District and other waterway partners will set up display booths and games on Federal Street to promote life jackets, water safety and safe boating practices to the public. The Pittsburgh District will participate in the first pitch and provide a color guard team to present the colors during the national anthem. Bobber the water safety dog will race in the Great Pierogi Race during in-game entertainment. The first 20,000 fans to enter the stadium will receive a free shirt promoting the “Wear It” Safe Boating Campaign.
