The Karli Short Better Tomorrow Gala is a red-carpet fundraiser hosted by Penn State and NFL alum Brandon Short. Because Short has invited his teammates from Penn State, the New York Giants and the North Carolina Panthers – plus many pals from the Pittsburgh Steelers – the evening promises a who’s who of gridiron greats.

The event benefits The Karli Short Better Tomorrow Foundation, a scholarship fund that honors Short’s daughter who was murdered by gun violence.

Emceed by TV host, actor, comedian, and former NFL defensive tackle Anthony "Spice" Adams, the gala features cocktails, dinner and dancing. Pittsburgh Mayor Ed Gainey will be the keynote speaker.
