Zach Frazier to Visit Harrison County for 25th Annual Hogs for Dogs Dice Run

BRIDGEPORT, W.Va. — One of West Virginia's most recognizable athletes will be making an appearance in Harrison County as part of a longtime community fundraiser.

Former West Virginia University standout and current Pittsburgh Steelers center Zach Frazier is scheduled to participate in a meet-and-greet on Thursday, June 18, at RG's Almost Heaven Harley-Davidson in Bridgeport. The appearance is being held in conjunction with the 25th Annual Hogs for Dogs Dice Run, which benefits the Humane Society of Harrison County.

Frazier, a Fairmont native, earned All-American honors during his collegiate career at WVU before being selected by the Pittsburgh Steelers in the 2024 NFL Draft. He quickly became a fan favorite among both Mountaineer and Steelers supporters and remains one of the state's most prominent professional athletes.

The meet-and-greet is scheduled from 5 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. at RG's Almost Heaven Harley-Davidson. Organizers are encouraging attendees to support the Humane Society of Harrison County through donations during the event.

The Hogs for Dogs Dice Run has become a longstanding tradition in Harrison County, bringing together motorcycle enthusiasts, community supporters and animal advocates while raising funds to assist the Humane Society's mission of caring for homeless and abandoned animals.

This year's event marks the 25th anniversary of the fundraiser, making Frazier's appearance a special addition to the milestone celebration.

Fans will have an opportunity to meet the former Mountaineer star while helping support a local organization that has served Harrison County for decades.
