PeduTube

A Monthly Happening to Benefit Pittsburgh Charity Organizations

What do you get when you combine the cultural musings of YouTube with one City Councilman and add a benefit to help a worthy organization? You get PeduTube, a monthly social happening created by City Councilman Bill Peduto in order to bring recognition and funds to groups that help make Pittsburgh a better place.

Once a month, around a holiday, Peduto invites everyone to join him as he VJ’s the best and worst of YouTube videos via 2 macbooks and 2 large screen TVs at Cappy’s Cafe on Walnut Street. For a $5 donation, anyone can choose what video he will play and board members make matching donations.

Don’t miss this month’s Pedutube!

This month we will be raising money for the Fallen Heroes Fund.  All proceeds will go to the families of the three Pittsburgh Police Officers who lost their lives last month.  If you can’t join us on Saturday, you can still be a part of PeduTube by using the form below and requesting your YouTube video for a $5 donation or you can be a sponsor of this event by pledging a nickel, dime or quarter for every dollar we raise.

Pedutube is proud to have helped raise nearly $10,000 for these needed organizations, and to have helped to promote their causes to new audiences in a fun and unique way.  We will be taking a break during the summer — to spend research time on the internet and will be back in the Fall with a new line-up of great organizations to help and promote.

  • What's wrong with you? Send the tax bills out at the current milege amd worry abiut refunds later? Do you know a hardship this will cause for a lot of people. Get the assessments right first and then worry about the tax bills. My assessment tripled with my land assessment raised 1000%. That's right 1000%. One of my neighbor's assessment quadrupled. You come and look at my property and tell me why it's worth so much. Plus, I have to carry mine subsidance insurance because I'm sitting on a coal seam that could colapse at any time. I live across the street from a rental priperty that's a slum and another house has bars on tje windows because they were robbed. My assessment has so many incirrect things on it. Who did these anyway? Some guy sitting in an office somewhere who arbitrarily decided what is and is not. This says my house was remodeled in 1991. Everything in the house is the same as when it was vuilt except for normal updates luke water heater, furnace, etc unless you consider wimdows remodeling. They aren't even worth it becausei can feel the cold air coming in. I hope you get voted out of office. You certainly are NOT for the people.

  • Very inovative, and to comment by Eric S., this is bringing attention to your area from all around the country. It shares all that Pittsburgh has to offer and I am certain people who do not win will consider Pittsburgh favorably. I have considered Pittsburgh as a viable option, with the additional information I am learning it continues to rais on my list of where to move to.

  • Should we really be bribing people to move to Pittsburgh? How about spending $100,000 to develop an advertising campaign for the region instead and attract more than one new person?
    Eric Singer on HOW TO WIN $100,000 TO MOVE TO PITTSBURGH
  • I am soooo glad someone has paid attention to those of us between 45 and death! We still have so much to offer the world and a true desire to do so. We are still dreaming and planning and doing and living. Thank you for recognizing a valuable asset to community planning---the older, experienced person. I am so sick of hearing you're 'overqualified' and expected to be put out to pasture (or as a babysitter). I'm only 53 and I have a lot of dreams l have left to seek. I definitely will be applying!
