Today is #WorldKindnessDay2020 AND #CardiganDay to celebrate the legacy of Pittsburgh’s very own Fred Rogers. PIMS staff celebrated by wearing their favorite cardigans and think everyday should be kindness day! Take a moment today to do something nice for a friend, family member, or total stranger. The world needs kindness now more than ever! Oh, and head over to our PIMS instagram for a Cardigan Day post you won’t want to miss

This Veterans Day, PIMS honors ALL of the brave service members who have sacrificed so much to keep us all safe! We salute you you today and everyday.

People are leaving sticks on a dogs grave to pay their respects to a pup who died over 100 years ago... how sweet! https://mymodernmet.com/dog-grave-green-wood-cemetery/

Remember last month when PIMS went PINK? We were able to raise $320 to donate to a local Pittsburgh charity for Breast Cancer research! Thank you SO much to everyone who purchased from the PIMS store, bought a raffle ticket, or wore pink to show your support! #PIMSPride

BIG thank you to the extremely talented Caitlin Girdwood for letting us use her beautiful photograph of the Roberto Clemente bridge and our city of Pittsburgh! https://www.caitlingirdwoodphotography.com/

Dia de los Muertos, or Day of the Dead, is a tradition that has been around for nearly 3000 years! These days, it seems more popular than ever but it is definitely not just about the sugar skulls we have come to recognize. Watch this video to learn about a culture that celebrates the lives of their deceased rather than grieving and honor them every year from November 1st to November 2nd. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y6uhiZjfVpU&feature=youtu.be
