According to a news release from the team, shoppers’ costs were paid in advance by Sullivan.

“We have been so proud to see the generosity of the Pittsburgh community throughout this challenging time,” Sullivan said in a statement. “My wife, Kate, and I wanted to do something for those at higher risk for the illness. We know that most seniors live on fixed incomes and have to worry more about getting out in general, so it is our hope that we were able to give them a little relief during a stressful time.”
