Strong women. Strong team. 💪✨

This weekend, Fallon, Elise, and Olivia showed us what determination looks like—pushing limits, supporting one another, and crossing finish lines both near and far.

From leading the way as our Director of Development, to supporting Pittsburgh programs as a Program Manager, to championing impact as a Senior Program Manager in Philly, Fallon, Elise, and Olivia each took on incredible races—Fallon in the Pittsburgh Marathon Relay, Elise in the full Pittsburgh Marathon, and Olivia in the Broad Street Run in Philly. 🏃🏻‍♀️🎉

Their strength doesn’t stop at the finish line. It’s the same passion, resilience, and heart they bring to our mission every single day. We’re so proud to have such powerful women leading the way—inside and outside of the office! 💜

Help us celebrate these incredible teammates in the comments! 👇
