WTAE-TV’s Shannon Perrine emceed the event and encouraged everyone to bid on the donated auction items, such as a trip for two to New York City to attend a taping of “The Late Show With Stephen Colbert.” The most inspiring portion of the evening came when a young teenage girl read aloud a poem she wrote that detailed her tumultuous past and how she finally found love, acceptance, guidance and a safe environment when she came into Wesley’s foster care program.
