LEETSDALE, Pa. — Pittsburgh mascots will battle it out on a go-kart track, all while raising money for great causes.
Three Rivers Karting Entertainment Park in Leetsdale is hosting the Pittsburgh Mascot Charity Go Karting Race on Thursday at 8:30 p.m.

This year’s lineup of mascots includes: The Pirate Parrot (Pittsburgh Pirates), LOCO (Altoona Curve Baseball), ROMO (Robert Morris University), AMO (Pittsburgh Riverhounds SC), Wild Thing (Washington Wild Things) and Roc The Panther (Pitt Panthers).
If you want to see your favorite mascot take the lead at the starting line, you can donate now, and all proceeds will go to the mascot’s chosen charity. Voting is open until 7 p.m.

Festivities will also include a fan meet-and-greet with the mascots.
