Message From Chairman Bob NuttingDear Pirates Fans:

Throughout its 121-year history, the Pittsburgh Pirates have supported many non-profit and civic organizations through its charitable and community efforts, specifically its charitable giving, memorabilia, merchandise and ticket donations and volunteer efforts.

When I was introduced as principal owner in January of 2007, I spoke about my emotional commitment to this region and the important role the Pirates play in our community. We, as an organization, have since challenged ourselves to be even more effective in our philanthropic efforts and make an even greater impact in meeting the needs of our region.

The following pages in this annual Pirates Community Report highlight some of our initiatives during 2007, which also marked the first full year of operation of our new philanthropic arm, Pirates Charities.

As you will read, the Pirates are directly involved in many aspects of the community through Pirates Charities, Pirates player programs, the Pirates Alumni Association, youth programs, minority outreach initiatives, corporate partnership programs and more. We also work hard to support many non-profit organizations including the Make-A-Wish Foundation, Boys & Girls Clubs, American Red Cross and Leukemia and Lymphoma Society, to name a few.

Collectively, these programs have positively affected more than 2,000 organizations, a countless number of individuals and have made a tangible difference in our community.

I am pleased with the progress that has been made; however, I am most excited to say that it is only the beginning. The Pirates organization is dedicated to strengthening our commitment to our community and continuing to find opportunities to improve the lives of children and adults in the greater Pittsburgh region.

I would like to thank all of the Pirates employees, players, coaches, corporate partners, community leaders, friends and fans for their time, energy and efforts that help make these and all of our other programs possible.

Thank you for your continued support of the Pittsburgh Pirates.

Sincerely,

Bob NuttingChairman of the BoardPittsburgh Pirates & Pirates Charities

their baseball skills and interact positively with

their peers and coaches.
