The Youth Triathlon is Habitat for Humanity of Greater Pittsburgh's longest-running fundraiser. For over 20 years the Youth Tri has raised over $1 million to help Habitat Pittsburgh build and repair homes for low- moderate-income families in Allegheny County. Our mission is to bring people together to build homes, communities, and hope in Allegheny County. Our vision is a world where everyone has a decent place to call home. You can help by starting an athlete fundraiser today! You can learn more about Habitat Pittsburgh by visiting the mission page or our website.
