Circle of Hope Gala 2015
Thank you to all of our generous sponsors, silent auction donors, volunteers, attendees and everyone else who made this year's Circle of Hope event such a great success!
Pennsylvania Women Work’s premier fundraising event each year is the Circle of Hope gala. This event, which is held each fall in downtown Pittsburgh, honors a business leader from the Pittsburgh region for his/her commitment to Pennsylvania Women Work. In addition to this honor, several New Choices graduates are recognized with the Yvonne Zanos Women of Courage Award for their professional and personal success. All proceeds of the evening benefit Pennsylvania Women Work programs.
The 15th Annual Circle of Hope event was held on October 1, 2015, from 5:30 to 8:30 p.m. at the Fairmont Pittsburgh. This year’s Circle of Hope Honoree was Leslie C. Davis, Senior Vice President, UPMC, Executive Vice President & Chief Operating Officer, Health Services Division, President, Magee-Womens Hospital of UPMC. UPMC has been an ongoing supporter of our organization and we are extremely grateful for their involvement. We are also thankful for our Honorary Co-Chairs: Deborah Lee of PNC Bank and Jamie Scarano of Wexford Health Sources (who also stepped in as our hostess for the evening, when celebrity host Jennifer Antkowiak of KDKA-TV was unable to join us because of a bout of laryngitis).
This year’s honorary Yvonne Zanos Woman of Courage was Beth Caldwell, who is the founder and executive director of Pittsburgh Professional Women and the lead instructor at Leadership Academy for Women. Her inspiring speech shared the story of her own journey from being a displaced homemaker with young children to becoming a beacon for other professional women.
