It is with deep regret that we, The Compassionate Friends of Pittsburgh, must announce the cancellation of the 2020 Butterfly Release (August 30, 2020). The church administration has decided to prohibit us from using their property to hand out butterflies on that day due to continued concerns about COVID-19. Please know that we have tried in many ways to still have this special event that all of us look forward to every year. Although we really feel that we need it more this year than in years past, due to circumstances and restrictions beyond our control brought about by the coronavirus pandemic, we have no alternative but to cancel. While we won't be distributing butterflies on that day, we are still planning on having an on-line meeting; look for updates from us on alternate plans for the August meeting.

Please accept our apologies. We hope that we will be able to have the butterfly release next year.

If you have sent in a check to purchase additional butterflies, it will be returned to you within the next few weeks.

Also, if you haven't done so already, please consider attending our on-line meetings on the last Sunday of every month at 2:30 p.m. While we can't be together in person for the near future, we still are able to see and talk to each other during these virtual meetings (you can also call in to these meetings if you do not have Internet access). It's important to continue supporting each other during this crisis in any way we can. If you have any questions, please call us at (412) 835-1105.

Thank you and take care, TCF-Pittsburgh Chapter Steering Committee
