2024 BWP Pillar Awards

Friday, November 15, 2024 
11:00am - 2:00pm
Sheraton Station Square

If you attended the first ever Pillar Awards in 2023 you know you don’t want to miss the 2024 event! Our first awards luncheon brought together 135 women and men, recognized 27

nominees, and celebrated 6 winners.
Not too shabby for year one!

On November 15, 2024, we were honored to once again host this event and welcomed special guests from the City of Pittsburgh and Allegheny County. The County, City Council, and Mayor each recognized the efforts of BWP by delivering a proclamation and added to celebration of our day.

 

We are grateful for the more than 300 people who joined us to celebrate the bravery and leadership of our nominees and honorees! Our many sponsors added their unique personalities to the celebration.

 

As we reflect on this incredible milestone, both the BWP Board and each and every woman honored, we pause to recognize Beth Caldwell, who received the honor of being named our 2024 Bravery in Action award recipient.
