Wicked Pittsburgh partnered with McKeesport and Maxim Construction to paint olympic rings on the side of the Swintayla Cash Recreation Center. Cash, a McKeesport native was honored back in 2012 when the center was named after her countless athletic accomplishments including two NCAA championships, three WNBA championships, and two gold medals. 

 

The rings are over 20 feet high, and span nearly the entire length of the rec center on both sides. Three muralists collaborated to complete the project, and used boom lifts to access the upper portion of the walls. 

$1,500 was contributed to Eat Pittsburgh, The Greater Pittsburgh Food Bank, and Rainbow Kitchen.
