About

The Women's Energy Network Greater Pittsburgh Gala is a celebration of our truly outstanding members and a wonderful way to recognize them for all their accomplishments. Additionally, we are pleased to recognize the wonderful companies who uplift and encourage their female employees as they strive to achieve their goals.

Charity

Proceeds from the auction will be donated to the Western Pennsylvania American Diabetes Association in honor of Mallory Matthews.


Mallory was a beloved member of the WEN Greater Pittsburgh community who recently passed away unexpectedly. Mallory was a wonderful friend and coworker who often brought joy to those around her and will be deeply missed.

More than 1,160,000 million people in Pennsylvania have diabetes. An additional 303,000 are still undetected. It is estimated that one out of every three children born in the United States will be directly affected by diabetes.


The American Diabetes Association's Pittsburgh office is committed to educating the public about how to stop diabetes and support those living with the disease. They have a variety of local events and want to encourage you to get involved!

FAQs

Q: Why is it no longer called the "Boots and Ballgowns Gala"?

A: The decision to rename the Gala was driven by WEN Pittsburgh's desire to mark the 10th Anniversary with a fresh perspective. The rebranding initiative aimed to modernize the event's identity and align it more closely with our current vision. Moreover, it presents an opportunity to infuse the annual gathering with renewed enthusiasm and energy.

Q: What do I wear? Can I still wear my boots?
