The Celebrating woMEN! event, on December 1 at the August Wilson Center, was a wonderful success. Whether you were able to come or not, you can see (and even purchase) photos from the event by entering the code WGF2012GALA.
In all, more than 350 guests enjoyed an evening full of good company, delicious food from Big Burrito, and an awards ceremony highlighting teens who are making an impact in our region and 14 honorees – all MEN this year – who are champions for gender equity.
WGF raised more than $20,000 in a friendly, five-minute challenge between the men and the women in the audience. The women contributed the most money, but the end result was that EVERYONE won!
The event received wonderful press from both the Post-Gazette and Tribune-Review.
