2025 Strong Awards Celebration
The Westin Pittsburgh
Our Strong Awards is an annual celebration of the women around us who are making a difference in their communities. In addition to celebrating community and recognizing achievements, this event also raises funds to support Girls Inc. of Pittsburgh programming that empowers women and girls.
This year we celebrated Girls Inc. of Pittsburgh’s 20th Anniversary and 10 years of Pittsburgh’s Strong Awards with lots of good friends, delicious food and drinks, and live music and entertainment, including musical performance by Anqwenique Kinsel and Band and Kulture Dance Academy.
The Strong Awards celebrate the individuals and organizations who are making a difference in our community by giving back and empowering women and girls to reach brighter futures. Nominate someone in one (or all) of these categories to be honored with a Strong Award at this year’s inspiring ceremony.
- Elementary school girl
- College woman
- Professional woman
- Company/organization
Nominees do not need to be affiliated with Girls Inc. of Greater Pittsburgh to be considered for a Strong Award, but they must be located in Southwestern Pennsylvania. Self-nominations are accepted and we encourage nominators to collaborate with their nominee on their submission. The Awards Committee will select one recipient in each category, notify them in June, and present them with the award at the 11th Annual Strong Awards.
