More than 2,000 people poured into the Strip District for this year’s Touch-a-Truck (TAT) event on Saturday, May 30. Kids of all ages explored fire engines, police cars, cement trucks and much more. They sat in drivers’ seats, honked horns and sounded sirens. More importantly, kids connected with the personnel who help build and serve the greater Pittsburgh community.
Touch-A-Truck (May 31, 2008)
Children had the opportunity to explore trucks of all shapes and sizes including fire engines, police cars, construction vehicles, a SWAT vehicle and a cement mixer. Imaginations came to life as kids got up-close to the trucks, sitting in the driver's seat, honking the horn and turning on the sirens.
The Junior League of Pittsburgh chose KaBOOM! as its signature project and committed to building three play spaces over three years. The JLP completed their third playground build on September 20, 2008. The first was built on October 28, 2006 in Turtle Creek with the Human Services Center Corporation as a community partner. The second was built on Pittsburgh's North Side in September 2007 with the partnership of the Pittsburgh Project. The funds for the 2008 playground build were raised through the JLP's 2007 Designers' Show House.

Currently, the project continues under the direction of Beginning with Books and the Junior League of Pittsburgh continues to fund the program.
