On June 3, 2025, the scenic Treesdale Golf & Country Club welcomed supporters for a day of purpose and play at the 3rd Annual Joey Porter Sr. & Joey Porter Jr. Celebrity Golf Classic. What began as a family-led event has become one of Pittsburgh’s most inspiring annual gatherings—bringing together athletes, philanthropists, and community partners to support the mission of the Jasmine Nyree Campus.
Thanks to the incredible generosity of attendees, sponsors, and donors, this year’s tournament raised over $190,000, marking our most successful outing yet.
A Star-Studded Day on the Greens
A few of the celebrated guests in attendance included Jerome Bettis, Mel Blount, Charlie Batch, Brett Keisel, and Casey Hampton—longtime supporters who helped make the day unforgettable. Their presence reminded everyone that community, compassion, and commitment can create powerful change.
About the Jasmine Nyree Campus
Located in the heart of Pittsburgh’s Sheraden neighborhood, the Jasmine Nyree Campus is a 108,000-square-foot multi-service community center founded by Christy and Joey Porter in honor of their daughter, Jasmine Nyree. The Campus provides comprehensive, consumer-centered services to special needs adults and K–12 youth, working in close collaboration with families, schools, and local agencies.
Current program areas include:
- Academic Enrichment: Using both traditional and interactive methods, the goal is to positively influence academic performance. The STEAM Lab offers hands-on learning opportunities, and the state-of-the-art computer lab focuses on coding and other applications.
- Community Service: Projects provide enriching experiences that connect youth to their community, instilling feelings of empowerment.
- Life Skills: Training includes personal hygiene, cooking, managing a home, financial literacy, and budgeting. “The Hangout” lounge allows youth to practice social skills.
- Mentoring: Programs improve self-esteem, social skills, and leadership skills through guided and peer mentoring.
- Nutrition: The nutrition program, with its commercially equipped kitchen, improves youth health outcomes by providing freshly prepared meals and snacks.
- Physical Activity: The Jerome Bettis Gym promotes self-confidence and well-being through activities like volleyball, basketball, and yoga.
Coming Soon: Jasmine’s Place
Funds raised through this year’s event will also support the upcoming launch of Jasmine’s Place—a groundbreaking 72-bedroom residential community designed to provide independent, semi-independent, and supported living for special needs adults. The facility will offer 24/7 safety monitoring, daily meals, enrichment programs, and more—creating a safe and empowering environment for adults to live with dignity, autonomy, and connection.
